If anything at all. What happy memories do you have as a kid on bonfire night?
Or even as an adult?
As a kid I always remember burning the roof of my mouth off on a cup of oxtail soup and the sparklers and firecrackers  |

I remember my parents always taking me (Kat) to a display ran by the council and always getting there early so I could get to the front and always righting my name with a sparkler I still love all the colours and bangs xx |

I quite like the random little displays this time of year, short days and early nights with firesmoke in the air, the odd bang pop and fizz of fireworks here and there, hearing the distant bemoaning of all of it by miserable buggers watching telly and quietening down their yappy little lap dogs..bliss, it all goes to weaving the magic of this time of year, |

My mum would have the whole family over and we'd make a bonfire in the back garden- and my brothers would set off really crap dangerous fireworks 
We'd eat my mums stew and drink multicoloured drinks from the milkman 
I miss my family  |

Local display in the park. We'd watch through the fence then go in after for free, for a go on the fair. Two rides each for 50p a go, always the Big Wheel. Then a toffee apple and a warm of the hands on the fire. The roar of a big fir is amazing. It was always properly cold back then too. Tights and big coats needed for the frosty nip in the air on the way home. |

The company my granddad worked for before he retired used to put on a big display every year, proper professional display company did it. All the families were invited, free hotdogs and burgers, cans of pop, candifloss. Me, my brother and sister, mum and dad went with my grandparents. Only my dad left now so brings some good memories back. |

I actually can't remember being taken to any fireworks displays as a child
We go to a great display now with the kids. Soup, sparklers, fireworks and a massive fire with the guys the village kids have made. It's a cheap night to which a bonus.
We always have hot chocolate and marshmallows when we get home to  |

As a kid it was a night of family fun, playing duck apples, eating toffee apples, then going up to the bedrooms to watch the fireworks.
In my late teens early twenties it was thesmell of the bonfire, the fun of setting off the fireworks. |

As a kid, my dad taking us to displays; going to friends' and family; having fireworks at ours.
As an adult, taking my kids and grandchildren to displays; going to friend's and family.
The food and getting together. I see more people on firework night than I do over Christmas now.

Growing up, going to the fire station display, china cups of mushy peas with mint sauce, then going home to jacket potatoes, wrapped in foil & cooked on the open fire.
Now take my son to the display on the beach, have mushy peas when we get home, but sadly no open fire (but getting one put in next year) so spuds done in the oven

Penny bangers, the fact that as a kid I could buy fireworks, having a bonfire in the back garden of our council house, a real celebration of the failure of those papist swine, when a penny meant a penny and you could get a penny go stocker. |

Bonfire night was always one of my favourite nights as a child - love all the pretty fireworks and sparklers. I take my daughter somewhere every year for fireworks night and we love it. I prefer bonfire night to Christmas! |
