Happy Guy Fawkes Night to all those who celebrate.

For those not familiar with the tradition, it's when we commemorate the (failed) attempt by Guy Fawkes and his co-conspirators to blow up the Houses of Parliament with barrels of gunpowder.

I will leave it to you to form your own value judgements about whether blowing up the Houses of Parliament is a good thing or a bad thing.

Oh, and stay safe folks. Bonfires can be dangerous
