00:05 Well, to me, I remember, I look, I'm older than I look, I remember when bonfire night was just family round the bonfire with a little pack of fireworks.
00:17 But organised ones are good. I wish there weren't quite so many people who just let off fireworks when they felt like it for about 10 days before and God knows how long after.
00:29 It costs a lot of money, a lot of money.
00:34 Well, I mean, so long as people are sensible, I think it's a great idea. I haven't got a problem with fireworks as long as they're not used recklessly and people obey the firework codes. Boring answer, but yeah.
00:46 I think fireworks are fine. I think we should limit who gets to buy what though in terms of fireworks at home. But controlled environment, actual firework event, more than happy to attend, yeah.
01:01 What do you, you like fireworks? Daddy, do you like fireworks? No, not going to interview you.
01:09 I just like bonfire night. I've always had bonfires every night and yeah, I must admit, the only thing is today, the price of them, they're too dear anyway.
01:25 So I've never bought any for years, but years ago, yeah, I used to love bonfire night.
01:33 Well, we think it's about time. And it stopped. It's been too long ago and it wasn't, it was an important part of it, but it's not that important anymore.
01:42 It doesn't serve much of a purpose. No, no.
