I AM a three-year-old boy who lives with my daddy, mummy and two older brothers.

Although mummy may not agree I am a good little boy. I eat my meals, I go to bed early. I like playing with trains and my brothers. All the normal things for a little boy.

The last weeks though, have been very different for me. As I am terrified of all fireworks, and every night for many days, from about teatime, we have had fireworks going off all around us, which has reduced me to a nervous wreck.

Unable to be left in a room on my own, unable to go to sleep on my own (I usually only need my teddy), waking through the night. I am at my wits end.

So I am begging all our neighbours for next year, can you please just all go to the big organised display? Or if you have to have fireworks at home can you please keep them for the proper firework night, November 5.

IVOR KILBY,
