Yeah in my area the fireworks started on Wednesday the 26th of October. I was screaming out to my neighbour to shut the f*** up beause i was trying to watch TV.
On the 5th of November you kind of expect it, and even today on All Hallow E'en i expect them, because of the tradition of fireworks around about this ime of year. However, it's very aggravating when every night for 2 or 3 weeks, you hear fireworks in the next garden from 5pm to the ungodly hours of the morning.
