Big Bang Fireworks

I seem to have missed out on both those Bangs-maybe I did not have my hearing aids in at the time.

Distance is relative, if you are closer, it is louder. The soundwave from the Krakatoa eruption cracked 1' thick concrete 100 miles away and was heard 3,500 miles away.

Completely agree Phil. In fact I have written to our MP to demand an immediate meeting of COBRA. These acts of terror must not be allowed to go unchecked.

Yes indeed Hannen. Hyperbole is a tool for making your point. You are not averse to using it yourself on this site.
Back to the topic: big bangs are, literally "explosions" and, literally, they do create "terror" in animals.

I appreciate your point of view Phil, but I think referring to "terror" (affecting all animals in the town) and "explosions", if we have indeed simply heard fireworks, is hyperbole.

Like your comments guys.Specially the baked beans theory.
Nevertheless, let's not ignore the serious point: creating unexpected explosions in a built-up area is an anti-social act. I hope those responsible have got the message.

Perhaps it's the start of a revolution ;-)

Who on earth set off those big bangs at 5.20pm tonight?
Do you not realise what terror this causes to the animals in this town?
