SIR – Regarding Gary Webb’s comments about fireworks (August 9).

Time they were all banned. They put the fear of God into cats/dogs and I suppose many elderly people.

It is not a case of stop enjoyment but interfering with other people’s privacy and quiet. Does he, I wonder, drive with his car windows down, blasting what today’s populous call music at a high rate of decibels?
