Guy Fawkes
[QUOTE=sathor;610490]I don't fully understand the concept, but doesn't England celibate a day when a guy tried to blow up Parliament?

Remember, remember the 5th of November
The gunpowder treason and plot
I know of no reason why gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes and friends tried to blow up the houses of Parliament during the reign of James I at the royal opening. IIRC it is now the occasion of mischief, hijinx, and enormous bonfires.
History should not be forgotten nor should we dwell upon it and hold grudges due to ancient wrongs.
