The last couple I have been to were a bit boring. Yes, they probably cost a fair whack but only so many times you can see the same thing and be excited.
Never forget the time when I lived in Nuneaton, within pissing distance of Lydgate Court, the 'well-hard' crowd were setting fireworks off in the day and you could almost feel the general sense of: 'these r'shit, carn even see 'em' from them.
