Do any other countries know of this day today or in fact actually celebrate it with fireworks and stuff?
Im going to a display tonight and have a couple of boxes of fireworks to let off with my family sunday when we all get together.
-
We used to have it in Australia when I were a lad (35 years ago or more) but then they outlawed fireworks and it was no more.
-
Well, we don't have it in the US, but I do know of it.
-
yep, i've heard of it. but we don't celebrate it.

I LOVE Guy Fawkes night! It reminds me of the 4th of July when I was a kid! They banned fireworks in California, though, so the 4th of July wasn't very exciting when I became an adult.
The next door neighbor always puts on a big show. And it's going to start soon! I'm going to take the kids out to watch. Great times!

My Mom's birthday coincides with it so I know about it. Do people still burn effigies of Guy Fawkes? :D
-
They do in other places in the UK, but not around here. In my neighborhood, they burn giant bonfires and shoot off fireworks.
-
There's a huge display tonight at my Uni campus. Tis going to be awesome.
-
I know of it, but we sure don't celebrate it here.

Remember, remember the Fifth of November,
The Gunpowder Treason and Plot,
I can think of no reason
Why the Gunpowder Treason
Should ever be forgot.
Guy Fawkes, Guy Fawkes, t'was his intent
To blow up the King and Parli'ment.
Three-score barrels of powder below
To prove old England's overthrow;
By God's providence he was catch'd
With a dark lantern and burning match.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, let the bells ring.
Holloa boys, holloa boys, God save the King!
Do any of you brits know this?
-
now we do!
-
Yeah we all learn the first five lines when we're little.
