“why is bonfire night allowed to happen still ? As a nation we are being taxed to the hilt for 'anti-pollution' measures, they are introducing the carbon tax yet we still think its ok to burn anything we can get our hands on just because its November 5th.
This is a tradition we could all live without, what exactly are we celebrating on this evening ? and is it worth celebrating ?I doubt it.

personally i couldn't care less about the pollution casued by bonfires and fireworks but it just makes me laugh when you see people go on about how they recycle everything but then burn £100 worth of fireworks.”

“no you just live in nottingham.arr you poor folk i do sympathise.”

“We must live in a wonderful world if this makes the news.”

“I used to set fire to other kids bonfires when I was a kid, not news really.”

“no comment from mel,at last someones chucked him on bonfire”

“It's near the meadows every year and it's not set alight!! I've asked some people in the know and it should still be going ahead.”

“a bit close to the wonderful meadows im afraid.”

“I drove past at 6PM on Friday night and it was well and truely lit!! A fire engine was there and the firefighter were struggling too extinguish the blaze. it had reached probably the height of 3 double deckers. Its a shame as we go every year and there always is a great atmosphere. Does anyone know if the firework display is still going ahead?”

“Suppose it makes a change from A CPF.”

“That would explain why it got very smokey on Saturday night. I actually thought of my neighbours burnt their dinner!

Its a shame as I was looking forward to the event next weekend”
