# well, fireworks are more likely to take your face off
than a witches costumes,
but yes, we're british, we can bob for apples
but the main focus has always been (and should remain) on november the 5th

# I love that bonfire night.
It is a good night. Our little town of Stansted Mountfitchet puts on a lovely display in a big field each year, and there's a big bonfire that you can stand near. Shame they don't sell mulled wine.
Also, November is a lot warmer that it was when I were a kid. I remember being absolutely freezing on bonfire night, but these days I can go in shorts and a light shirt.

I wouldn't buy fireworks myself, but it's silly to ban them when you need to be over 18 to buy them anyway. What next? Ban bleach? Ban cars because they might possible kill someone. I mean, how many people are actually killed by fireworks each year anyway? It's probably a lot less than people who die of alcohol poisoning. Grrr.
