Bang-o-meter - made up words

Buying fireworks the other day and some copywriter has dreamt up rather a nice word to describe how much noise a firework produces.

Bangometer, or also seen bang-o-meter.

Nice little graphic in the speedometer dial format and coloured graduation from green to very red.

But what is loud. What's loud to me isn't loud to my nieces and nephews that's for sure.

The EU gray suits have not imposed a decibel level to be placed on each box - yet.

Off Subject & Overheard.
Man 1- Why are you spending 50 quid on fireworks?
Man 2 in response - Why do you spend nearly £4.00 on a packet of cigarettes?
