Every year firework manufacturers and sales reps often inform us of shortages of fireworks in an attempt to get us to order early! Lasat time it was the Chinease Olympics affecting shipping of explosives.
This year we’ve been informed of new red tape in China plus crazy hot weather there that delayed manufacture. As I write this I can think of four major UK firework companies that have much later delivery dates for products than last year. This could all be nonesense in an attempt to sell more or encourage a rush. I think there must be some truth in these delays plus why would UK firework companies order Large amounts of stock when there is A RECESSION ON and the Pound has been week against the US Dollar all year? Time will tell
