Excellent article. Glad to see someone sticking up for British traditions and for childhood independence. Crystal Palace had an organised display every year but most of the time we organised our own bonfire night, in the back garden, with a BIG bonfire (neighbours called the fire brigade on one occasion) and a few fireworks, sparklers and baked potatoes. I went to Lewes once. Crazy. They were letting fireworks off all over the place. I'm all for living dangerously, but not THAT dangerously!
