well on lates on guy fawkes night so went wiv kez +kids and amy+ her kids plus rick n jason to the mitcham fireworks. they haven't had one for donkeys years and even then its not for bonfire night; just halloween. found them all an off we set. all a bit worried because we heard there was a big charge but then that was for the fair. naturally the kids took one lok at the fair lights and all the chatter and girls 'screaming' and begged to go but i was not about to chuck six kids over fence and then leap same so we found a god spot. hah! from that side its a tiny hill. we saw these official types looking at us. then one came trottong our way so we moved on in case he was something to do wiv charges. but then it was cold. i was enjoying the moon on the mist and the trees an everything. along comes another oficial, bless the man. he'd come to tell us we was standing in the fall-out zone. oh, says us, that black bloke told us to come here! so anyway he tells us to go round the hill and be the other side. well i don't know where that hill came from but going round it took ages an charlene moaned horribly about the cold/grass/spiders and then Something shrieked its death shriek in the wood so the boys got all manly [after i picked them up] but it was probably a goose but i never knew gooses went aargh...urrrgh like that so i will never ever go on that common on my own. not at night. well that bloody hill must be the grave of a flaming pharoah but we got there in the end. then that nice policeman pointed out that i was steadily walking kids into the firing area so i said but wheres the tape and he got astrnomy so i knew they hadn't put it up. then they were 17 minutes late apparently waiting for millions more to turn up so i said down rozzers transmitting thingie that we were getting a bit cold an hurry up.
just the there was a tiny banger went off so i said oh that was it now we can all go home and people laughed. but when they got used to it i don't think anyone up there did it before i was actually quite a good show!
kids hanging on to nan, everyone there going ooh and aah...i particularly liked the fusillade...in fact i think they might have had two; unless it was a fag break. anyhow so we were right underneath every rocket; i didn't notice until the end but then i actually saw a little red spark land on jasons' jacket!! obviously the wind had shifted fallout area to right there. and almost last a rocket misfired and went off really close at head level! the official fallout zone being a hike an a bit where we'd come from. naturally nothing whatever landed there. we all cheered and amy and i will complain about the chap telling us to stand in blast area and then there wasn't a tape and then i reckon we WERE in the allout zone after all. should get us a rebate. and also i will ask them to spend twice as much on fireworks next year. nobody minds paying council tax for something good like fireworks.
so a good night for all.
