" You may be a redneck if... your lifetime goal is to own a fireworks stand." -- Jeff Foxworthy

Life Bonfire night, and the city's main display sprang from a box on the parade field at Sefton Park exactly opposite to our flat so we had an amazing view and could feel every bang as the building vibrated. It is the closest we've been to the event and could here the 'symphonic' music (well the theme from ET, The Phantom Menace, Flight of the Bumblebee and Pomp & Circumstance) and the whoop of the massive crowd which we could only really see in the street lights as they arrived and the cars which they parked all the way around the park, on central reservations and in front of the gates of our highrise which either blocked us from getting out or stopped the hoards from getting in.
