Um... okay.
What's the posh person's equivalent then?
Burning peasants tied to trees?
Common people let fireworks off in the street. Civilised people, like moi, go to nice proper displays. Which are amaaaazing.

Ace.
Some late people are setting out looooads of fireworks outside my window right now.
Does anyone remember indoor fireworks? I never saw them in action, but there used to be boxes of them, in the window of our local shop, when I was a kid, and I'd spend ages looking at them, wondering what they were like. Apparently they were meant to be complete shit.
I've never actually witnessed one.
I don't understand what they would look like.
Maybe there's a video on youtube...

They still exist!
I have some!
You are right, they are not exactly amazing. Avoid snakes. It just burned into something that looks like a big poo.

It really is weird, that you compared one to a poo, as I remember one of my mates saying exactly the same, about 20 years ago, when I asked him to describe them.
Must be how they look then, eh?

Indoor sparklers are cool though.
I found you a clip of a snake. To be fair to indoor fireworks, some are lovely but I really think whoever invented the snake must have been high.

Ice fountains are good though. Like proper mini fireworks!
Cooooooooooooool!!!!!
And the snake is hilarious!
But 
. They'll have to throw out their best plate now. 
Yeah, you get to go and see big proper ones now zooo! *shakes fist with jealousy and that*
