Rich,
re: aren't, but happy
As a tennis-watcher I am not happy with the fireworks, it stopped play at today's ladies game.
Please explain, why the (local) fireworks is allowed to interfere with a (televised world--wide) event.
Regards, and have... Gilbert
PS fresh snow is falling outside in these parts of the world.
Australia Day marks the formation of Australia as a nation, it was in some level of doubt when it happened, many wanted seperate countries. It's probably the equivalent of Independace day in the US, although ironically the Queens birthday is another public holiday here.
The Tennis always stops for the fireworks, they only interrupt the final two years out of seven however. Basically if the rest of the world wants to watch our tennis they're welcome but the only thing that ever stops the fireworks is extreme weather (fire risk). It'd be too distracting for the players so they pause.
