Having read many different articles on the disposal of date expired flares, it is obvious that there is considerable confusion on the correct method of disposal. Some say the flares should be handed to the Coastguard, some say give to the Fire Department, some say the Police etc. etc. Hence the confusion. If anyone can advise on the correct, and legal method of disposal I would be pleased to hear from you.

To sum it up, take them to the Coastguard

I suppose I was expecting to much hoping for a sensible reply to a serious question. Thanks to "fflakey" for his response.

I would have thought the obvious thing to do was wait until Nov 5th and let 'em rip (Inland, of course)
Get yer moneys worth one way or another eh?

The correct thing is to give them to the coastguard, it is very irresponsible to let them off yourself, however far inland, and I can categorically say that that would be no fun whatsoever.
Even in Chiselhurst.
And it probably isn't the only way you'll get experience of actually doing this thing, which may one day save your life.
Oh, ok, it is fun. But it's very, very naughty.
And we're too grown up for naughty, aren't we?

I'm sorry for making you click your mouse to many times rather than getting off your arse and finding out where to get rid of your out of date explosives as soon as you realised they where out of date .

That's all very well until an out of date one fails to go off, Then you are left with a pin in one hand and a time bomb in the other.
