Backfiring through the carb indicates a timing issue, in that it is too far advanced. So the mixture is being ignited while the inlet valve is still open. Backfiring through the exhaust is the opposite and its too retarded so igniting while the exhaust valve is open. If only for peace of mind, it may...

London centric views assuming it is the same across the whole of the UK. Frequent and regular public transport would be needed in advance of any change of this magnitude, but does not exist anywhere except within our major cities.
