MSA tell me that they do leaflet local residents about it but their idea of "local" and our pets idea of "local" are somewhat different. Oh well at least it has been a very short "season" this year. It was last year too. I'm not sure what's changed. There was a time when it started three weeks before with fireworks every night somewhere around the village. Perhaps shop keepers are finally waking up to their responsibilities in regard to selling them to young people. -- Paul
