The last week in my house has been a nightmare thanks to fireworks, yep while many people enjoy this time of year my dogs decidedly do not! We have had one dog whining consistently and another trashing everything in the house, getting defensive when he's told off, sicking everywhere, it has been an absolute joy. I wonder however if many children today even know about Guy falkes , and his attempt to blow up parliament? My 8 year old certainly doesn't and if people are no longer aware what the holiday is about doesn't that make it defunct? Or perhaps for many, it's just an excuse to burn rubbish, let off fireworks and get obscenely drunk. Lovely just what we need another excuse for people to be idiots like there weren't enough already. The photo is a firework i caught in mid burst from a professional display, which by the way i don't mind, they time their events reasonably (there's no 1am eruptions.), they are done with all the correct safety equipment, and you know weeks in advance to prepare for the discomfort of your animals and/or disruption of your childrens sleep.
Ok i'll get off my soap box now.
