Anyone advise against this - I was going to anyway as the weather looks ok down here in South Wales, but has anyone had any bad experiences commuting on bonfire night - or this particular week when the kids are armed and dangerous?
All my life I've wanted to be someone; I guess I should have been more specific.

    Depends on where you live, or if you go through *dodgy* areas - I would keep a low'ish profile (i.e darker kit and go faster!). I hate the fact that bonfire night started on Saturday in Brizzle - not great for pets.....and fecking annoying if you have small kids too!

    Always nice to celebrate an act of terrorism though...

    Slightly OT but I was in Bristol & the weekend and couldn't believe the mud where the fairground had been on Clifton Downs. On Sun morning even the 4WDs were spinning all 4 wheels trying to get out. That park is wrecked for the winter :(

    Given it was 'foiled', is it not more celebrating the failure of terrorists to commit said act?

    I mean, the celebration does involve burning an effigy of aforementioned terrorist....

    The tale of Bristol reminds me of the bonfire night I'd been down the climbing wall (St. Werburghs) and ridden back through what seemed like a pitched battle between two groups of youths. Slightly alarming to watch a rocket fly horizontally down a street.

    The worst I've has is having some water thrown at me (and missed) by the street urchins of Deptford.
