I'm starting to get a bit threaders with 'Fireworks night'. Because it seems to go on for 3 weeks either side of 5th November, with random little chavvy oiks putting fireworks up in ones and twos - 30 seconds pleasure for the 30 minutes my dog spends bricking it.
But I noticed something odd this year - I went to my works do and my town do. And neither bonfire had a Guy on it.
Did that go the way of the politically correct police at some point?
Any one else notice this?
Also, my 7 year old came back and said Guy Fawkes apparently tripped and broke his neck on the way to the Scaffold, but they hanged, drew and quartered him anyway. Never knew that, was that Horrible Histories or summat I missed at Junior School?
Anyway:
Remember, Remember the 5th of November
Gunpowder, Treason and Plot
I see no reason, why Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
