Advantages: great firework displays

Disadvantages: scary for some children and animals

On November the 5th every year the uk celebrates the foiling of the Gunpowder Plot which took place in 1605,a number of Catholic conspirators, including Guy Fawkes, were alleged to be attempting to blow up the Houses of Parliament in London, England.
We celebrate by lighting bonfires and setting off fireworks,which leaves the outside look eerie.Some children like to build a guy and ask "penny for the guy".

Bonfire poem:

Remember, remember the fifth of November
It's Gunpowder Plot, we never forgot
Put your hand in your pocket and pull out your purse
A ha'penny or a penny will do you no harm
Who's that knocking at the window?
Who's that knocking at the door?
It's little Mary Ann with a candle in her hand
And she's going down the cellar for some coal

I love everything about bonfire night but I would think it would be much more safer and cheaper if everyone went to a controlled firework display.
The emergency departments are always really busy at that time of year and fireworks that get into the wrong hands are used to scare people and damage property.
I would never want to stop this day as its fun for all ages and an excuse to party.
You will find at that time of year treacle toffee,toffee apples,parkin cake and black peas will sell in most shops.

Summary: good excuse for a party
