Hopefully this assault upon tradition will be limited to this one area and that right-thinking Britons who live there will be able to enjoy a traditional bonfire night not too far away.
BTW we typically had the mashed spuds that night then retrieved the bakers the next day, yum !
That sounds wonderful, and I'm sure that your fine Texas neighbors would be delighted if you were to have your own Bonfire Night here in America. They would probably love to learn about Guy Fawkes and it could turn into a neighborhood tradition of your own :-)
Considering what a wonderful ally and friend Great Britain has been for us Yanks, I think that such an effort would be very warmly received (if you'll pardon the pun).
During this time of war, we need to pay particular respect to our allies and I think that it would be a wonderful way to stretch a hand of friendship across the pond, so to speak.
Nice thought but I can just imagine the result here in the 'burbs of having a Guy Fawkes bonfire and fireworks !
Can't even do that July 4 !
