if nothing else, they're colourful - which is why I have them in my collection! Am I the only one who likes these things? They are, of course, empty of their smoke/flame/illuminating contents.

I like them too, but tend to be in worse condition after floating about a bit.
Only once they've been declared inert of course!.

But of course....there is nothing more embarrassing than have a search rescue sea king hovering over your house when one has tried one out in the fish pond in your garden...even more so when you live nowhere near the sea! :xd:
 
I'm not alone then! As a child they often washed up on the beaches so when the chance to get a couple that hadn't been swimming I jumped at it
 
oh I can think of a lot of things more embarrassing than having a helicopter hovering over the house!
