Mischievous Night

Did you all go out and create mayhem last night? And are you all having bonfires, fireworks, plot toffee and roast potatoes tonight?

Re: Mischievous Night

So what do you have against parkin pigs?

Re: Mischievous Night

My humble apologies John, it's 42 years since I enjoyed a Yorkshire 'Plot Night' - I've probably forgotten more than just parkin pigs!!

Re: Mischievous Night

It's been 47 for me and I miss it more with every year that passes. You cannot buy fireworks (legally) in NSW Australia unless you undertake a pyrotechnics training course and produce evidence of same, then apply for permission to buy and set off fireworks in accordance with regulations. If only I knew where to buy saltpetre

Did you know that fire at sea is one of the sailor's worst fears? Keep the flame burning on t' bonfire where it belongs.

Re: Mischievous Night

I concede Mike !!! You must have gone straight from school. I know of Sassafras, having travelled in Tassie many years ago, but never been to it.I "grew up" in Geelong. I have a sister in Mathinna, over St Helens way. Cheers.
