[quote=WESTNORWOODGAS,253603]Today is one of Englands festive customs Guy Fawkes Night, for those who don't know English history on the 5th November 1605 Guy Fawkes tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament to rid the country of it's Protestant Government and it's King James the1st, this was known as The Gunpowder Plot, this was foiled and he was captured and executed on the 31st January 1606, every year Children make up a dummy which they then display on the streets and ask for "a penny for the guy" which they then buy fireworks to be let off on the 5th of November, the dummy is put onto a bonfire and everyone enjoys the firework display.
