8 weeks!!! OMG
Yep. I don't know about the rest of the UK, but around here (Gloucester) fireworks go up for sale at the start of October. People buy huge amounts of fireworks and set them off every day (literally) from the start of October until the beginning of January.

You have the few complete idiots that deliberately fire them at cars/houses, and those that forget they have fireworks, and suddenly remember in the middle of June. And then there's those who set them off in the middle of the day (what's the point when you can't even see them?) I could go on ...
