I know this is an old thread but, I have to say there are a few wowser comments here. Guy Fawkes night was great fun. We would as children build a huge bon fire with a Guy sitting on top and a couple of sky rockets hanging out of his hat. During the evening the fire was lit and our parents would set up a sky rocket display and do all the lighting. It was only later on when we were older that we were allowed to light the crackers. Our parents were always sober and no one ever did anything stupid. It was a wonderful time for us and I have many fond memories of this time.
Guy Fawkes night was legislated out of existence because of the less than 1% stupidity. The threat to animals really is minimal and animals should be locked inside during such events so as to minimise their fear. Cats should not be left outside at night anyway as this is when they kill the most.
Lots here seemed ok with the use of fire crackers but some want to live in a nanny State. I for one am sick of being Nannied.
