00:00So I think when I was growing up, the O'Gardens was more like, oh, it was excitement and harmless fun, if used correctly.
00:07But I think we've started taking our eye off the ball in terms of it's almost like a six-week-long event now.
00:14More like armament now, aren't they, you know what I mean? Not fireworks now, more like armaments.
00:19You know, you used to get your bangers and your rip-raps and things like that, and that was as far as it went.
00:23Now it's like bombs going off on the road late at night, so no, I'm against them.
00:27And it does harm the pets, so I'm against the way they are.
00:31If you're a sensible parent, let them off in the garden, or keep your kids away to a certain distance,
00:39and let them off the fireworks and the rockets and all that.
00:42I'm probably more antsy than proud of them now.
00:44If you asked me that 40 years ago, I would have given you a different answer,
00:47but I think there's different reasons behind it now.
00:49There's a place for them, and you'll never stop them.
00:51I don't agree with banning them, but regulation, I think, is the answer.
00:56Definitely organised events, that means there are fewer of them and a brilliance, and you get just as much for it.
