Crackin! It’s Bonfire Night.

Written on November 5, 2010 by 2 Comments

This year’s tradition of fireworks and effigy burning was threatened by a proposed fireman’s strike but thankfully the union has come to its senses.

On the funnier side, poor Wayne Rooney won’t fair so well tonight I’m afraid. A town in Kent has made a 50ft mock up of the striker to set a light.

New to Britophilia and not sure what Bonfire Night or Guy Fawkes Night is?

Watch this adorable video shared by Denise from Tea in London Tours.

or you might enjoy Molly’s brilliant explanation.
