Lol cannoneers!?

Never knew there was a name for such a job. Sounds like mighty fun, I'm litterwlly at the bottom of England though.. So quite a drive for a man with no licenses!

Another thing I used to do was collect old fireworks up* and remove the label from the cardbord section, under that label is a section of blue touch paper that's not been burned when the firework was lit.

Not advocating this by the way, its just what did.







*Almost always "Airbombs" which to a young chap are about the only fireworks worth playing with. Ahem.

Blue touch paper is just blue coloured paper thats been soaked in saltpeter then dried to use as a fuse on fireworks as far as I know.

Don't tell me you've never lit a firework? Its the bit that glows and smokes for a few seconds before the main powder catches.

Yeah I've lit a few, but its always been a green fuse then whoosh and boom.
