Loud colourful explosions, yay or nay?

Bonfire Night is a classic end-of-the-year British tradition, marking when someone tried to blow up the government with gunpowder - fun! Every year, on the 5th of November (or the closest weekend to that date), people gather to enjoy fireworks displays and bonfires.
