If the OP gets deleted, I'll never buy another Auran product.
...it is not a political statement, because their is no opposing argument...Sorry if you took it the wrong way, I was just cheerful of the fireworks exploding next to my house.:clap:

Better question why do other countries celebrate a U.S. Holiday to begin with?:hehe: Unless of course there is some other holiday associated with the country your currently in.Did you know that some countries celebrate 4th of July before America?
I'm in Thailand right now and it's 12:02 and last night fireworks were going off like machine guns, very easy to get to sleep

Happy forth everyone. Even if you do live in another country. Who cares. It is always a good excuse to light off some explosives.
Americans celebrate holidays from everywhere. Just an excuse to party I would guess. 
The following are "celebrated" here in California:
Cinco de Mayo - Mexico
Oktoberfest - Deutchland
St. Patty's Day - Irisch
Independence Day - USA
Sadie Hawkins Day - England (my favorite)
I am sure there are many more.

heh I was fearful of them (and mind you I'm a pyro) 'cause:
a) I wasn't setting them off.
b) they ended up going off a few feet above my house (like literally directly above it) I wouldn't be surprised if there were remains of them on my roof!

Sadie Hawkins Day actually originated in America, from the Lil' Abner comic strip;

Back in the days before women's liberation (not THAT long ago, 1970, altho for some of you younkers 1970 probably seems like ancient history) a girl was not supposed to be "forward" or aggressive, so she was supposed to wait for a boy to ask her to dance or go out on a date. But on Sadie Hawkins day the roles were reversed and the girls were supposed to pick the boy they wanted.

Heck NO
You've been watching too many re-runs of the Flintstones.
Colour TV came into popularity with the '64 Olympics, and over here we used cars to get to and from work (or if you were lucky trains!)
I'm not sure where this ides of "not being forward " came from either - maybe it's different on the far side of the Atlantic?

It will be a problem for you.... when the oil from the Gulf of Mexico enters the loop current and takes it to the ...Gulf Stream... which will end up on the UK shores.
Perhaps the BBC has not told you that news at this time.
Oh, almost forgot, the oil well gushing crude and gas was NOT a USA venture.
Have fun,
