Christ , in the 60’s you spent half term chucking bangers at the enemy , lighting fires and burning potatoes on the fire , raiding the other guys bonfires or setting them on fire , or just chucking bricks at each other . At Halloween you carved a turnip if you could afford one . You had a a small box of Brocks fireworks or Standard or Lion if you were posh . Cannons were pretty loud , sparklers were chucked anywhere and the night was choking with smoke - ah happy days !!!
