Remember remember ...

 Remember , remember,  The 5th of November , Gunpowder , treason and plot ....

 This is the  start of a " poem" all English children learn to celebrate the failed attempt to explode the parliament buildings in London by Guy Fawkes  on the 5th November ...

 When I was young, like all children in the  U.K we  created a  lifesize " guy" and collected money in the streets asking " penny for the Guy". With the money we bought fireworks and in the evening we put the Guy on a big Fire and had a firework display and cooked sausages and potatoes on the fire to celebrate .....
ah  fond memories !!
