Portek would be on to a huge money spinner if they redesigned blues without the clay plug - as the old design.
I wonder if they're aware of this?...

I really don't think all of the bangers let off over bonfire night would warrant a redesign (which would probably require re-licensing etc) just because a group in Sussex use them for a purpose they are not intended for (which is also an illegal use, but I shall not bring that into it).
"Suitable" bangers are made, and sold, in Europe, but they are not legal for import unless, amongst other things, they on a rope (such as the Portek bird scarers). Because "suitable bangers" have been banned by the government, unsuitable ones were (and I sadly expect still are) being used.

I know, it seems perverse to ban real bangers (which are solely paper, a fuse and gun powder) but to allow agricultural rook scarers that can be easily modified which feature dangerous components.
But that's the world we live in eh... Not allowed to have fun over here in the UK! France and Spain don't seem to be averse to sticking two fingers up at over-zealous legislation however!

Sussex Jim - you have been druv old man. The tories are far more interested in consolidating financial power amongs European business partners than the silly little wishes of a pleb like you.
