When we were kids we had some fantastic bomfire nights, us kids used to collect wood and build a den under the big pile,then one kid would be left on guard sat underneath,to make sure other gangs diddent pinch it,OOhhh that wouldent be allowed now,,
On the actual night it was a neighbourhood thing with treacle toffee and roast spuds ,,and the fireworks,,if you were posh you had a half crown box or if you were very posh you a five shilling box,,,me,well i had a sixpenny bag of sparklers....,i remember the jumping crackers the lads chucked at the girls,,another thing that were stoped by the p.c. brigade....
all the kids were safe because all the mums and dads kept an eye out on all the little ones.
Ahh memories,,,,
