Oooh, I am too angry to write a response to that!

I would rather wear sackcloth and ashes and see £1.6m going to a better cause. Because I dont need to have fireworks to make me happy and see in the new year.

Ann there is so much money wasted each day on so much crap,. I dont think theres any harm in spending some on giving people pleasure - life's very short, it's been a crap old year and I can't see any problem in wasting a bit of money on fun - but then I am a bit pissed:))

c'mon Uggers - no I wouldn't - but to just burn money - which is essentially what happened I find obscene - a show that lasted about ten minutes for a minute proportion of the UK - I am so angry about it - I feel a letter coming on!!!

Have to agree, totally unnecessary, we seem to be trying to "out do"the rest of the world !

a national disgrace, nothing less - my blood is boiling - when I think of all the people sleeping rough in this cold weather, old people who cannot afford to heat their homes, children neglected and abused because Social Services are short of cash - and all so that people in one city in the UK can have a firework display!!!! Were it in my own city I would be just as angry, the location is not important
