Bonfire Night

[Deleted member 9966]

Bah humbug to Bonfire Night.. it's another one of those highly commercialised "holidays" meaning that parents have to spend a fortune putting their kids close to danger.. it's no longer celebrated for the true meaning of Gun powder, Treason and Plot. It's like Christmas, bring back it's original meaning and I might actually celebrate.

I do however have half a batch of ex-display fireworks purchased around 4 years ago. Unfortunately, they require a minimum distance of 25 metres and enough space to set them off in. I have neither. I'll probably end up drowning them and chucking them away.

The local rugby club had theirs on Thursday and the council is having theirs tonight (Saturday). Nothing happened on the 5th. I reckon they do it when there are less parties on so they will have a larger attendance and with £5 admittance it'll be a lot of money.

We had a great night last night and the display was awesome. We had Radio Forth there supplying the music for the display, and managed to film quite a bit too. So might upload some later.

Part of the display we went to last night, which was a free event paid for by donations.

It is in a factory ( Stillers) and the section that exploded was the toiletries section with Aerosols etc..
