That Duty of care , in my opinion, probably is not so strong as YOU do not or cannot foresee a burglar entering your premises and doing what you have said. . An organisation like ?Network Rail? MUST foresee EVERY likelihood and a burglar is NOT particular difficult to foresee these days.

  Do you actually read peoples comments or just skip through the words until you find one that you understand?. You would expect it that I had commen sense and kept fireworks away from youngsters? In my own shed on my own property in a house where there are no youngsters? How the hell would I be prosecuted? On what charge??

  Fireworks Regulations 2004 impose restrictions on the importation, supply and possession of fireworks in England, Wales and Scotland.
  .
  Specifically a ban on the possession of fireworks by Non-professionals
  .
  If you have a gun - in your own shed - on your own property - that is not legal.
  .
  It is also illegal to own bears, large cats, rhinos, crocodiles, and chimps.

  A flame thrower is something you may not have considered.

  I'm sorry if that does not make ANY sense to you?"
