Over here in Germany they do not sell fireworks until the 4th November so thus far I have not had to tolerate stupid yobs setting them of for the last two weeks. it has made it so that I am looking forward to seeing them for the first time in ages.
The downside is that the Germans like to celebrate Christmas with with style. The first Christmas lights have begun to appear this week so I guess the magic will be lost by the time it arrives. At least I have the Christmas markets/fairs to look forward to, that and a guaranteed fair amount of snow.
