Remember Remember the 5th of November

Today is Bonfire Night, or Guy Fawkes Night if you prefer, not that poor Guy was actually consigned to a Bonfire, he was hung drawn and quartered and the original effigy burnt was that of the Pope!



But never mind that small historical inaccuracy, let's celebrate this great English tradition while we can, before the 'elfs get their hands on it as they've done with conkers and much else besides.

While I'm on the subject I can't help recalling the old adage that Guy Fawkes was
"the only man ever to enter Parliament with honest intentions".

However you view him and his actions, have a happy and safe Bonfire Night.
