:) I have been checking out Black Cat's USA website www.blackcatfireworks.com and Black Cat's UK website www.blackcatfireworks.ltd.uk and the difference between what's sold here and what's sold stateside is MASSIVE. The Real Video clips of the effects on the Black Cat US market fireworks show that the US fireworks are slightly more grander and slightly more imaginative than what is sold here(that's not to say the UK market stuff is bad tho' because it isn't and it's generally good value and fun to let off and watch), and in light of the goodness/performance/reliability of it they seemed quite safe and reliable in action. What would be nice (in my view anyway), is for Black Cat UK to get some of the US stuff that is sold over there(everything bar shells/bangers/airb-o-m-bs/crackers and other outlawed stuff in the UK) tested to BS7114:part2:1988 and then brought back to Huddersfield where they are based, and sold through retailers/mail-order retail trade in the UK to give UK firework fans a chance to enjoy what the Yanks are enjoying in the good ol' US of A. Just a thought. :blush:

Perhaps it would be best if you just had the one thread, and posted your messages in it?

Dont want to cause trouble, but posts like this that dont have any question or specific point to them are getting a little tedious.

Well Ant, I must say I completely agree with you. I would like to see some BlackCat crackers here too. And the missiles and bottle rockets look so very juicy to light. :D

I am afraid you are not agreeing with Anthony - Anthony doesn't want to see bangers, crackers etc.)

Perhaps it would be best if you just had the one thread, and posted your messages in it?

Now I do agree with that!

That's strange, I swear he said "What would be nice (in my view anyway), is for Black Cat UK to get some of the US stuff that is sold over there(everything bar shells/bangers/airb-o-m-bs/crackers and other outlawed stuff in the UK)"
Meh, I must be really bad at reading. :(

He would like to see everything - but not shells, bangers, crackers etc.
