I know I will probably be in a minority but I love Bonfire Night. It brings back such happy childhood memories. I liked chumping (collecting wood and paper for the bonfire) , making a Guy from old clothes stuffed with paper and building the bonfire. I used to have my fireworks in an old biscuit tin and some sparklers. I loved the jacket potatoes cooked in foil on the edge of the bonfire and the parkin and sticky bonfire toffee.
I lived a few miles from the Standard firework factory and always wanted an invite to the bonfire of somebody whose dad worked there as they got a free box of display fireworks! Occasionally my nylon anorak had tiny burns from holding a sparkler too close.
