[QUOTE=monkey hanger;1259146]Do not know what its been like this year over the hill but over this way last night was the 4th night in a row we have had to suffer the reinactment of the battle of stalingrad. Not a killjoy for those who enjoy them but surely its remember remember the 5th of november and not days before and after the event. Enough is enough for me and surely something needs doing for the future. However when profits are being made out of their sales its not time to hold my breath.

I read an article in the daily mail the other day where a question had been put to ten and eleven year old school children, the question being "what is Guy Foulks remembered for, some answered, "he was the maker of fireworks" others thought that he invented the forks that we use to eat with, not one had ever been taught the real reason for "gunpowder, treason and plot".What the hell are our so called teachers, tutors, lecturers putting in to our childrens brains, Rant over, glass empty, time for another Hobgoblin.
