Still Waters Posted November 5, 2013 #1 Share Posted November 5, 2013 Fireworks night is still marked in the UK, but Ben Milne asks, where have all the guys gone? "Penny for the guy?" If you're feeling indulgent, it conjures up black-and-white images of cheeky urchins wheeling around a figure made out of tights stuffed with newspapers (and a turnip for a head), cheerfully cadging pre-decimal coins from indulgent adults on a chilly night. For the less charitable, it's a nasty outdated sectarian tradition, where youngsters beg with menaces, before a big bonfire is lit. http://www.bbc.co.uk...onitor-24818807 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
