Chinese Lanterns

[AlexOC]

Ah, thanks for the replies guys. Wouldn't mind buying one to try it out now! I'm supposing most shops will sell them around bonfire night mainly too? And how do they go up in the air, like a firework but slowly kind of thing?

edit: Just seen you hold them then just let go and they fly up, interesting! And most are about £2.99 right?

Yeah its like a piece of cardboard, covered in something that burns slowly. You set it alight, wait like half a minute for it to fill with hot air then just let it rise out of your hand.

Apparently they're terrible for the environment, someone suggested bringing some to a party and got a lecture from environmentalists. As well as parties they're also common at music festivals, particularly towards the end.

also coastguards have been like pissed off becuase when theyre let off near the sae, they mistake them for flares

I think people just buy them for the fun of it. and to create and atmosphere my family bought them for a wedding which really made it look pretty.

I have two of the large paper lanterns hanging up in my room - suits the room with the beams.

Edit: Oh, think I got the wrong end of the stick here, but anyway.

You really think police/government should be regulating flying paper lanterns?
