I was planning on having a lie-in this Sunday but somebody else had another idea - to let off some firework bangs at 8 a.m.
Can anyone explain to me what noise has to do with holiness and saints? What about the petards? They are useless. Who enjoys them? All they do is disturb people, old and young, not to mention animals, which get scared.
Are these bangs really necessary? I'm sure the saints are turning in their graves when they hear these bangs in their honour.
