Happy Guy Fawkes day!
Happy Guy Fawkes day!
Do you actually celebrate on the 5th of November, or is that just another Hollywood creation?

I am surprised you can't hear the explosions from the West coast!
It is a mix - some events will be today, but our local display is tomorrow. Waiting to see how Eddie copes with the noise and whether it is enough to induce labour in Nuala!

Only as much as you guys celebrate 4th of July.Glenn E. wrote:Do you actually celebrate on the 5th of November, or is that just another Hollywood creation?
It always amuses me that you guys celebrate the birth of your nation, victory in the war of independence and the start of a new government.
We celebrate the failed attempt of a bunch of misfits to try to blow up the king while he was in the houses of parliament.
Talk about an illustration of cultural differences!
