And this gal I worked with told me over breakfast (that’s the best meal to eat in the UK!) “Happy Guy Fawkes Day!”....
So I asked and she told me that he was a guy who put a bunch of gunpowder in the basement of the parliament building and was going to blow it up, but was caught and put to death. So I asked if it was his plot that is celebrated by the holiday, or if the celebration is because he was caught. She wasn’t sure…
That’s my kind of holiday…
