So Many Fireworks / myLot

November 5, 2015 3:41pm CST

It is bonfire night here in the United Kingdom, an odd night when us Brits celebrate a failed attempt to blow up the House of Parliament and the fireworks have been going constantly since it went dark at 5pm tonight. It's now 9.30pm so that is four and a half hours of big bangs and Ruby the dog is now a bag of nerves. Don't get me wrong I live fireworks but we will have this every night for the next three days and it is not good for getting the kids to sleep or the poor dog.

That's an odd thing to celebrate! Could you tell us more about the event? What was happening at the time?

bonfire night is all to do with when Guy Folkes tried and failed to blow up the Houses of Parliament @marcyaz & @Sheilamarie78 each year on the failed attempt the British celebrate with fireworks and bonfires.

@mrtoffee Thanks Paul, I have heard of Guy Folkes but that is all I knew was the name, didn't know he tried to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

I wouldn't enjoy days of fireworks at all.

It would be very frustrating to try to do anything or watch a program and have to hear nothing but fireworks.

Never heard of this bonfire night what is it exactly about and when did it start? I like fireworks but not for days on end and the dogs would not like it either.
