In response to Pat Gaughan and the likeness to other countries (Another country, Letters, October 10), at this time of year Australia springs to mind, where fireworks are only sold to people in posession of a pyrotechnics certificate.
This is unlike here, where any mindless yob can buy them nearly all year round, and discharge them well into the small hours of the night causing nuisance to people and suffering to animals.
On the subject of my drinking with Aled Jones, I am a teetotaller, which means all my observations are not seen through the distorted world of alcohol-induced stupor, which is something we might discuss at a later date, perhaps.
