Joe you are so right about today's kids.
When I was a nipper, near bonfire night when we could buy fireworks, me and my pal would buy extra 'bangers' and in the early evening when the local farmer took his cows away for milking, we would climb over the wall into the pasture and search for the biggest 'cow pats' or piles of cow poo. We would then stick a banger in it, light the fuse, and then run away to try to avoid the explosive shower of sh*t that followed and we would do this about 5 times before neighbours came out to see what all the BANGS were all about.
Don't try and tell me that todays kids wouldn't be better for doing this in real life instead of just the equivalent on Facebook :-O
