A question to my British friends
|

Hello! Do you still celebrate Bonfire night in Britain? Is it always like it was years and years ago? Do children ask "A penny for the guy"?
Thank you and ciao |

Yes mariannina,
It �s raining oustsied so I �ve chickened out of going to my local park where they are letting off all kind of fireworks. It shall continue throughout the night. Asking for "a penny for the guy" seems to have lapsed a bit not many kids venture out -it gets dark and parents are worried about the kids safety. |

Almost every town/village organises a bonfire which might be on 5th November or the nearest weekend, together with fireworks. I �m going home to the UK tonight and there �s a big event at the local rugby club tomorrow night which lots of families will be attending. As for �penny for the guy � - guess it �d be more like �pound for the guy � with the exchange rate... :) |
