Shows how crap the UK really is.

I was in Spain in November, and at the town festival all the young kids had big bags of banger to throw. Not a problem as they had used them from a very early age and knew the dangers and all acted with care.

WTF !!!! How would they be able to afford 20000 crackers ! lol and responsible retailing doesnt allow ofr shoplifting ! lol

By our reckoning, a team of council estate under-16 ne'er-do-wells would only need to extract the explosive from around 20,000 Christmas crackers to build a device capable of delivering a nasty shock when posted through the letterbox of the decorated war veteran running the Neighbourhood Watch scheme

I bet they are sill selling that book from Pete the BB winner... now that will cause more harm to kids than a cracker!!!
