The most important aspect of this signature line is that you don't realize it doesn't say anything significant until you are just about done reading it & then it is too late to stop reading it....

Yes, have fun with the bonfire and the effigy. Don't do like Mulberry and cut the Guy down and share a drink with him while watching the bonfire. That short lived series is what taught me about Guy Fawkes day, though V for Vendetta taught me who he was.

Thanks Ray,
When I was a kid it was my only source of gun powder, so I learnt a bit about the Black Stuff thanks to good old Guy Fawks :D

Huddington Court, Worcestershire, is one of the houses involved with the plot, it was the home in 1605 of the Winter family also spelt Wintour, that is where I was employed as gamekeeper but much later... :D
If more men loved and cherished their wives as much as I love bacon the world would be a much better place.
