Oh, a bonfire, and crispy hedgehogs with taters and toffee. What fun!! There are several of my ancestors that came from Lincolnshire. Maybe we are secretly related. I love alcohol induced traditions. Have fun with Guy and the bonfire.

5th November... Guy Fawlkes Night.. Get the fireworks out and build a huge bonfire... (Remember to check for hedgehogs making nests under it, and make sure they are far enough in to get Properly Cooked)
Bonfire toffee and Baked Tates are the order of the day.
If you want to go the whole hog, burn an effigy on the bonfire at its' height... Maybe someone famous, or just a plain old Guy.
In the locality I came from in Lincolnshire, it was a tradition for the whole village to get extremely intoxicated and march the main road with a stuffed Gorilla by torchlight.... The stuffed gorilla would then be thrown from the roof of the local hostelry.. The Houblon Inn.
