I like it; I think he did a great job on this. I am curious in the United Kingdom are you able to sell 1000 gram fountains without any special licensure? Here in United States 1.4 Consumer Fireworks fountains are limited to 500 gram.

Yes, consumers in the UK can buy 1000g fountains, any fountain over 1000g is professional use only.
