Unfortunately this is not a post about sex...
Staying in a hotel in Canterbury on business (sounds nice but as I'm self-employed I'm paying for this myself in order to be able to do my job...)
Last night I was woken up at midnight by a fireworks display - really loud bangers etc - which sounded like it was directly outside my window. It wasn't but must have been very nearby. Hotel is in town centre. i had been fast asleep. Not if it was organised display or not, but sounded like quality bangers and it went on for a little while, rather than being one or two random fireworks.
Am I right in thinking that there is no tradition in this country of having fireworks at midnight on 5th November? Why would they need to be at midnight when it has been dark for hours? It was bang on midnight not just quite late, which is why I ask the question. Not very upset about it (a bit annoyed at the time) just think it was bizarre.
