we have fireworks going off and stuff, oh and a bonfire, cos of some men trying to blow up Parliament on this date years ago, and they moved into the house next door and dug a tunnel that led into the cellars in Parliament and hid loads of gunpowder in there. Parliment would have exploded but the gunpowder was found in time and the men were hung. xx
