We are not too far from Manchester, and one night, coming silently over the hill, very slowly were all these lights. I was a bit puzzled at first, but realised there were no less than 50 of the things. They had obviously been set off at a wedding or some celebration in the city, and now they were heading into our beautiful countryside......that was 50 potential death traps landing on someones fields....... I do not suppose the people setting them off had any thoughts on where they would land, or the damage they would cause.
Its not just restricted to New Year or Guy Fawkes......they come down any time. I was surprised how cheap they are too - come in packs of 10.
