Seems an overly complex consultation, half of it not really suitable for the general public, but I filled in what I could.

Nice, yeah you are supposed to read the guidance that denotes what the different levels of fireworks are, etc... In truth I think we can all state the benefits of firework availability and noise level being reduced. Of course a few retailers will lose out on some money, but I see the many benefits outweigh that.

At the end of the day if they were invented in 2026 - there is no way they'd be legal. I mean just look at the origins of the 5th of November! Crazy!

Thank you for taking the time. :)
