guy fawkes or guido fawkes for historians

anyway just wondered has anyone actually seen any kids doing penny for the guy this year or for the last bloody 10 for that matter, what the hell is wrong with them all. oh the fun we had making those guys and begging on street corners for money lol.in those days you could go in and buy fireworks any age. we spent hours looking at the ones we had bought over and over imagining what they would be like on the big night.back to the question has ayone seen penny for the guy or has it finally died a death. shame if it has

shame, wonder if it will ever return

penny for the guy is quite big around here, apparently the real guy fawkes stopped off near where i live on his way to blow up the house of parlaments. so its relived in a nearby village and there is plenty of guy fawkess and fireworks etc about. but halloweens seems to be getting bigger

Come to think about it ive not seen anyone do penny for the guy in donkeys years since i was a kid and that 30 years ago, i think nowadays people see it as beging in this politically correct world, i blame the foriengers coming over hear and diluting our culture.
