Sorry, son. You’ll probably spend it on a bottle of White Lightning anyway.
Whose face is that supposed to be on there - I can’t make it out?

For others like me:
"Preparations for Bonfire Night celebrations include making a dummy of Guy Fawkes, which is called “the Guy”. Some children even keep up an old tradition of walking in the streets, carrying “the Guy” they have just made, and beg passersby for “a penny for the Guy.” The kids use the money to buy fireworks for the evening festivities.
On the night itself, Guy is placed on top of the bonfire, which is then set alight; and fireworks displays fill the sky."
Thank you so much yojimbo! The two posts before yours were making me even MORE confused. Now I understand.
Here’s some slightly stale Halloween candy to be getting on with until I can dig out my old portraits of the queen.
Down with James I!!!
hands over a penny
You guys realize every guy is named after this Guy?
Thanks everybody!
Sweeps up ashes, goes to see if a bottle of White Lightning can be had for less than £2
We didn’t have a Guy but we had loads of fireworks. Good old Guy.
Unfortunately. :rolleyes:
Here’s a Canadian quarter (one of those special red-poppy ones, too). I figure that’s a penny in British currency.
Sod off!!!
You and those friggin Americanised trick or treaters are just bloody beggars, go and cut someones hedge and earn some money do some errands like I did as a child, get your arses away from the playstation and take up a paper round, bloody parasites!!!

Here’s an American dime.
Burn Guy Lombardo, and I’ll give you a quarter.
Does the Guy take Euros?
I have to say that Guy Fawkes Day sounds like a rather cool holiday. I guess the next best thing we have over here is Christopher Columbus Day. grumble
