Its unbelievably massive- something like , what, 70 000 1.3G and 1.4G items!!

But no, I just did searches bt name, by importer etc.

I liked the 1.4S stuff!

Possibly more time efficient to speak to the show company and ask them what the cake was! It's very likely that they used the term "Godfather" in the vernacular meaning the boss or leader or most important. If it's not on the current LOCEF then it's not approved by that name.

Is the LOCEF document searchable ( Ctrl+f )

There is a search engine thingie- items can be searched by name, importer etc. "Godfather" produces just one result, the Cosmic rocket.

I finally managed to drag myself down to the village green(where it still was)and got info and photos.
It's made by MARS pyrotechnics herts cm232et and complies with BS7114.

Well if it is 1.4, then let's have old Floydy's opinion of it. It's not too late to stop the petition

Wot ? You got the district librarian committee on aswell then ?

[David]

Here is one for you Floydman - what would you expect from a candle that had been given a "bangometer" rating of 5 out of 5, defined by the sainsurys as "maximum noise" , one level louder than "very loud?"

Gigantic Crab!!! says: Mars did a cake called "The Grandad" which had a high retail price, but not surprisingly: it weighed about 30kg.

very sharp Floydo, but your going down the wrong track. Think again........

One mans bangometer is different from another I suppose .
1. "Very loud" has been highlighted as being very misleading nowadays even, as in my recent past experience, with items sold by a reputable all year rounder. Supers allegedly have less knowledge concening fireworks so their interpretation of "very loud" could be construed as inaccurate.
2. But then perhaps the Supers are becoming more aware of what more discerning consumers want from fireworks and developed a better knowledge of composition and associated regs ie, the bangs could be on the 120db limit ? Doubtful but maybe ?
3. Take a gamble and buy one and see for yourself. (What is this item anyway ? or are you just fishin David ?)

Maybe young naughty monkey could chip in before the librarians come knocking !
