PMSL, Sorry to hear that mate, I hope the missus will let you out again to enjoy the night fishing. Funny thing is you maybe right, regarding the fireworks I mean. Also the weed etc is causing no end of bother on the Trent currently.

They were probably enjoying the display too much to feed

I remember a few years ago whilst breaming, forgot it was the night out loud bangs, the first one went off, nearly put my head through the top of the bivvy.

Thanks for sharing the laugh zac

I also hope you get another permit!!

Know where your coming from there mate, have had many a nights fishing interrupted by the bloody things, but then have enjoyed many a free display as well...

The fish is not everything.

Not only 5th November, we have had fireworks for (seems like weeks) several days before November.

All down to Dwali!!!

Can't understand any of it, seems a total waste of money to me!

Besides that I thought Guy Fawkes was the only man to ever enter parliament with honest intent!!
