Just an update on what I bought this year. I went to Asda and paid £20 for a pack and a set of rockets, they were on a two for one deal.

Pathetic wasn't the word for it. Made in China so the packer was on a dollar a day, but colourful fancy wrapping, I would have had a larger bang if I threw a light match into a box of matches. What a load of tripe, the biggest bang will be when I re-visit the store tonight to voice my complaints and attempt a refund.

The roman candle items were absolutely dreadful with sparkling items popping out just a few inches, at times I thought they were an indoor set.

Any recommendations tag them on so next year is better. Before someone says only £20, we are talking about a bit ofpowder encased in cardboard, so £20 should get you a reasonable bang for yer buck.

several threads on this forum should have forewarned you that supermarket fireworks are generally poor to say the least , your far better off visiting your local all year round seller/shop who only sell fireworks and not tins of beans and dog food for 50 weeks of the year , there are the odd seasonal shop thats worth visiting but these are general run by people who know their gear and only sell quality items

though having said that £20 dont buy you a great deal of good pyro to be honest

Hi screwball,

I just copied this from another forum. I didn't buy my fireworks from Asda!
