       @HebrideanHecate Sadly this doesn’t surprise me, nor is it new.When I lived in roughly that neck of the woods 20 odd years ago, it felt like Beirut.  I saw teens with huge, illegally imported rockets, firing them horizontally down the streets like shoulder launched rocket grenades.  It went on for a month in the run up to bonfire night.  We used to have screw our letterboxes shut.
