Well, actually it wasn't November 5th, it was last Friday night, November 10th, when Worcester Divers changed history when their Guy Fawkes was crushed under a pile of pallets. However, before he could be rescued by the fuel tax protesters, the diesel soaked pallets burst into flames, making doubly sure of the execution. Signalling their success at ridding old England of this conspirator, the Parliamentary supporters rent the air with loud explosions of coloured stars.
After warming their cockles with soup & bread, the revellers toasted each other with flagons of real ale, culled from the local brew-house.
After much merry-making, the weary travellers went on their way leaving a trail of mud behind them - in Mo's kitchen.
Many thanks to all who made the Worcester Divers Bonfire Night Party such a success especially:
* Hosts Dud & Mo Guest for allowing us to try to burn down their trees once again, providing wonderful Apple Pies and cleaning up afterwards
* Pyromaniacs Jim Beech & Phil Mackintosh for risking life & limb setting off the display
* Carol Copson for selling the tickets
* Steve Fulcher & his lorry, Malc & Matthew Copson, Liz and Iain Cuthbertson, Phil Walsh & Ben Patrick and Dud & Greg Guest for providing & building the bonfire and
* Ashley Quinn for providing the food and organising it all while trying to keep the Severn out of his cafes.
