The night used to be a big deal here in Victoria, bonfires, crackers. skyrockets
etc. Usually most of the neighbourhood got together for a big blast. Best were the penny bungers and threepenny bungers. But alas, the caring government here decided that crackers and kids don't mix so they banned sale of the crackers and the big cracker night drifted into oblivion. If you ask a kid about Guy Fawkes these days, you get a blank stare or a wha?

Now the only time you see fireworks are the big professional shows at a big events or Chinese new Year, and of course they have to pay for permits
