Guy Fawkes Day

---

Remember remember the fifth of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot.
I see no reason why gunpowder, treason
Should ever be forgot...

Every year on November 5th the British fire off fireworks amounting to the GDP of a small African nation, and burn an effigy on a bonfire. It sounds a bit sadistic and, as an outsider, it definitely appears to be that way. But the roots go back hundreds of years.

This year's bonfire in Knutsford was a biggie.
