How Is Guy Fawkes Night Celebrated?

[Lallans]

these days health and safety has killed off much of the fun of guy fawkes night

fireworks are harder to get all the good fireworks have been banned and the bonfires are setup by the local council in a safe area which is inspected by the local fire-service , any bonfire outwith the council area basicly gets watered down and destroyed,
the fireworks display is also sectioned off and these days your not even allowed to take your own fireworks to any government run show again health and safety gone coo coo

so now its down the fathers and the odd mother to buy some cheap Chinese fireworks and set them off in the garden or away from any public area,

it used to be in my younger days alot more fun sadly now most folk celebrate can depend on which day of the week it falls on
eg on a weekend it'll be a nice night to meet up with friends and there children a wee party some drink cakes and so on but if its during the week then its just a case of setting a few fireworks off and then back home

and if your like me and live 8 floors up you get to watch half of the Strathclyde valleys fireworks and what a sight it is to see over 2 million Scottish households doing there bit for guyfawkes

Pretty soon they'll probably have a simulated bonfire using CF lights, fans, and orange crepe paper. Which eventually will only be held in the daytime in order to avoid the danger of tripping on darkened pavements on the way home. And then many parents will decide it's safer for the children to watch the event on TV, especially when stories about the orange dye used in the crepe paper begin to circulate.
