Maybe they could do the NUS style jazz hands/silent clapping while they're at it too...
Better rename the 'Guy' as well, it's really not inclusive enough a name. What about Person Fawkes.

Burning things? HOW DARE YOU!I dunno, if they're burning him on a fire then it had best be a straight white male!

I'm all for adding some excitement to the night and having public bought fireworks have a 10% of blowing up in your face
Like holding a Banger too long?
With all the eco stuff going on I'm suprised no one has brought up fireworks yet. It's basically throwing litter in to the sky and no clue where it's going to land.
But as said above, it's about time they stopped selling them to the public and only allowed them at large public events tbh. I live quite close to the local football club and they are always setting them off, gets old after a while.
What was it all about? Why is Guy getting burned every year? Was he a hero or a villain?Like many things we still do, the majority seem to have forgotten what November 5th was all about....
It's like people who move next door to Brands Hatch and then complain because they hear racing car noises, I have no time for people like that. Move somewhere else if it's a problem.
Do you not think this sort of attitude just sums up human nature, at least in this country, in general?
People don't want to do what's right if it means it spoils their enjoyment of something or they aren't gaining approval on social media for something special they're doing that normal people would consider just being decent.
We're a nation filled with selfish people with next to zero thought for others if nobody is watching.
Usually someone trying to blow up parliament would be regarded as something of a villain although these days you could say that’s highly debatable!What was it all about? Why is Guy getting burned every year? Was he a hero or a villain?
He was talking about fireworks that were being fired and hitting his windows - that isn't normal! I'd definitely consider moving in that instance, the area must be awful.It's not like that at all really though, is it? It's not like the use of fireworks is restricted to very specific locales that can be easily avoided. Where can one realistically move where the risk of hearing fireworks can be completely negated? I'm currently visiting my parents in their holiday caravan on the north Norfolk coast. It's about as rural and quiet a location as you can imagine, quiet little village and out of season. Even so last night, there were lots of fireworks going off.
For the record, it doesn't bother me much. I have two dogs who, thankfully, aren't that bothered by the noise at all, and I generally enjoy fireworks anyway. But I can sympathise with the OP, and others with young children, for whom constant fireworks can be an irritation. "Move somewhere else" doesn't really apply as solution.

Significant majority? I'd challenge that. Most polls taken suggest the opposite, in fact. I personally dont mind fireworks on the 5th, but idiots setting them off in residential areas are very annoying for those of us with small children. Completely appreciate Diwali, also.Then suck it up for a week while a significant majority enjoy it.
