If anyone knows Bradford, UK, then they can tell you it’s not a very nice place to be especially around this time of year. During the day fireworks go off… do these people not understand that they can’t see them? Though I don’t think this is their purpose for letting them off…let me explain.
Towards the end of October some little kids, maximum age of 13, youngest around 7, in a group of 5-10 decided it would be funny to stuff a rocket firework through our front door. Oh the hilarity of it. Luckily we have a guard on the front door (not a human one unfortunately, coz we’re only students!) around the letter box. This caught the firework, but it managed to explode, melt the metal and fill the whole house with smoke, and in turn set off both fire alarms. Luckily I wasn’t in the house at the time!
Nothing happened for a while. A few ambulances drove around our area. Quite a lot of kids (7-13 year olds) were just throwing fireworks around. Holding their mates faces next to rockets while the fuse sparkled away. Then this evening came, and a group of lads, again only aged between 7 and 13, decided to but a firework in our wheelie bin. A few bangs later, we open the door, and the kids (already at a resonable distance) run off. We open the bin to be greeted with a plume of smoke, but luckily nothing more. Later we get a few things thrown at our window, but the night then died down.
I didn’t do anything for Halloween, but here’s a funny picture of one of a friend going to a party…
Although Bradford is a rough area, don’t worry this is only make-up!
