Hmm, and there was me thinking the bangs went off at 6. Still, nice of you buzzing boys to get up extra early at 5.15 to rattle some windows. We're all so very thankful and I'm sure the marks on my car will polish out.

Nice try, but anyone with any sense would know that it wasn't commercial at 5.24.
I know because I was still in bed !

Those 5.15 bangs can't of been Commercial, they sounded like proper fireworks not the stuff that that Commercial get from Homebase.

I found the csbs fireworks to be despicable on my early morning dog walk. My dog was last seen by the elephant and castle, just before he bolted off upon hearing the bangs. I am extremely disappointed and upset by incident and consider csbs responsible.

I suppose it doesn't matter that the 5.20am fireworks weren't Commercial, the forum will still plod on ignoring facts and blaming CSBS and descend into the usual slanging match. Good to see that nothing changes round these parts.

Shortly after the bangs at 5:20 this morning, I looked out my window and saw 3 young lads running past my house. They were dressed in dirty yellow and black jumpers. Which society is that then?

I don't care who it was. If you can't all find out between yourselves, and stop it, don't expect any cash from me next year. 6.00AM is perfectly early enough, and traditional. In fact I actually like it. But the usual great effect was ruined. Hopefully no one will be ruining any more of the great features of today.

Definately CS at around 5.25 with a few bangs and whistles. And then to top it all, the traditional 6am maroon was at 6.10. Any reason for that ?

Well done commercial for doing my normal wake up call shame it was disturbed earlier than usual at 05:26/27 coming from the rise farm area !

The CSBS maroon went off at 6am on the dot, as usual. My understanding is that another society let off a 21 maroon salute to Keith Austin, somewhere near the castle, about half an hour earlier. If anyone saw CSBS boys around that time it's because they were gathering a at the Ellie to walk up to Martyr's.
