You know what I could never understand? Obviously this applies to Britain as I don't know about other countries.
Fireworks used to be set off on the 5th of November to commemorate Guy Fawkes and the Gunpowder Plot.
Yet these days, people seem happy to set off fireworks at any time of the year. Oh, it's a Friday, 'Let's set off some fireworks!'
Hey, it's my birthday next week, 'Let's set off some fireworks!'
My friend just had a baby, 'Let's set off some fireworks!'
It kind of loses it's stature if something is overused in such a way. I mean today is the 6th November and people are having a fireworks party. Really?
That's like Americans saying, "I'm not going to set off my fireworks on the 4th July. I'm going to wait until the 5th July and have a fireworks party then!'
It's surreal.
