London's enthusiasm for fireworks right now seems to suggest no one in this city has ever read about the 1135, 1212, 1666, or 1940 Great Fire of London.

Are they at least announced? NYC has had multiple unannounced firework shows recently, and it freaks people out. Just random loud explosions with no warning.

Well, unofficially announced by the precedent of history ๐ โ yesterday was Guy Fawkes Night (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guy_Fawke) so it was to be expected. I also live near a footy stadium who are very liberal with their fireworks budget haha

Oh ya. Sports and Fireworks. They go hand in hand. Whatโs funny is fireworks are expensive and youโd think theyโd lose their appeal in todayโs day and age with peopleโs lack of attention span.
No probs โ It's a weird British holiday that probably doesn't get much airtime outside these lands. Celebrating ye old political terrorism ๐
