It used to be my favourite night of the year, loud bangs and plenty of black powder smoke. It's a lot tamer now since the health and safety police spoilt the fun, I once put out all the street lights one by one, all it took was a penny banger in the drainage hole at the base of each lamp post..... :lol:
Guy Fawkes was probably the only man to enter Parliament with honest intentions.....

Complete waste of powder if you ask me.
When I was living in town it sounded like Beirut all night!
Then you get the folk complaint about shooting, the noise etc. The next thing you know the same fools are making loud bangs for nothing at all 🤦

Ok, I'm finished. I'll crawl back down my hole now.

The news over here said it was quite a rowdy evening. Sounds as if too many people have forgotten what it was originally all about.

I wonder if in years to come we might celebrate January 6 in a similar fashion?
