because it's anti-Catholic and encourages yobbos to go around begging for money and lighting fires.

To to mention the fact that people, even children are having FUN. Which should of course be banned.

YANBU. As a Lewes girl I hate getting dressed up with my friends each year and having a jolly good party with fire torches & rum. Hate it.

It's a disgrace, isn't it.

And I'm sure it's imported from somewhere. In fact, possibly London. So shouldn't be allowed in far-flung places like Gloucestershire and Wales

x-posted Famzilla.

I know, I really sympathise. All this enforced FUN. It's not fair.

Exactly sarah.

That nasty Scottish import. It shouldn't be allowed in leafy middle England.

I actually don't like fireworks at all, but let's not spoil the frothing by getting all serious

Ban it!

Who wants bonfire lollies, parkin and alcohol?! Not me, that's for sure.

Kids having fun? What's all that about?

I'm in Ireland where fireworks are banned.

Which of course just means there are millions of them about.

Can't beat a good Lewes bonfire! Does the Bishop of Sussex (suspect that's not his proper title) still stand up and get pelted with rookies?

I was in labour firing out my own rocket last year on the 5th Nov, on those grounds it should be banned, if I was missing so should everyone Grin

Or if you are tied to a ducking stool, Fright. Or is it a dunking stool? I don't know much about witches.

no no no! You BURN witches. Water is holy, so if you put a witch in water she will float as the water rejects her as she is unholy!
All forms of fun should be banned! Especially those that happen in the winter!

if you duck a suspected witch and she drowns, she is innocent.
