Penny for the Guy?
Haven't seen any Guys this year on the streets or any kids pushing them round asking for the above 
Another great tradition lost
Pathetic PC namby pandy government now wants us all to go to organised civic firework displays and not have our own bonfires or little garden displays. All the decent fireworks have been withdrawn from public sale too What a load of rubbish; getting your eyebrows burnt off, hair/hat set on fire, burning yourself silly, losing a finger or two while celebrating Mr.Fawkes demise and failure are (were ) all part of growing up.
Oh, and it upsets a few Catholics too apparantly so most big organised displays don't even have a Guy on top'o the bonfire anymore. Rubbish!
Luckily,the whole plot was hatched in a village a few miles away from me and tonight they've got open the actual old (and now restored!) house where Fawkes and Co planned their attack and a mahoooosive bonfire to light too
Also my good friend got one of her classes to make me a guy this week too so it's all good for me 
Can't wait to burn effigies, let off the professional display only fireworks i've aquired and upset catholics

Nat21,
In all the years I have been watching Guy Fawkes bonfires complete with guy, and watching fireworks, I have never yet heard a Catholic complain about it. Even at Catholic organised bonfire nights!
You seem to have a very immature and unnecessary "bee in your bonnet" about it.
