I couldn't see them either Ann, and I was there within 300 metres of the London Eye.

Never again.

Hello,

I agree that the performance was well 'over the top' financially, and that there seems to be an unnecessary competition between cities to outdo each other.

Safety bothers me now after a neighbour's rocket sticks embedded themselves upright in a garden . The warning on them was for spectators to be at least 25m away - not possible in today's tightly packed urban gardens. Last night we saw what we think were candle balloons flying over a typical built up area.

Scary.

totally agree that money could have been used to go towards new prisons that we need,that they deny.
but like i say,we employ the government,its about time they realised that.xx

Fireworks a wate of money...without a doubt, but then local authorities waste money 24/7. In the summer Prince Charles visited our town for 2 yes 2 hours...the flowers and clean up beforehand came to £48,000 now they say they have no money for maintenance of the civic buildings until the new financial year....The world has gone loopy!
