The great conspiracy

 Remember, remember! 

    The fifth of November, 

    The Gunpowder treason and plot; 

    I know of no reason 

    Why the Gunpowder treason 

    Should ever be forgot! 

    Guy Fawkes and his companions 

    Did the scheme contrive, 

    To blow the King and Parliament 

    All up alive. 

    Threescore barrels, laid below, 

    To prove old England's overthrow. 

    But, by God's providence, him they catch, 

    With a dark lantern, lighting a match! 

    A stick and a stake 

    For King James's sake! 

    If you won't give me one, 

    I'll take two, 

    The better for me, 

    And the worse for you. 

    A rope, a rope, to hang the Pope, 

    A penn'orth of cheese to choke him....

Ahh those damn Catholics, if only we had a patsy to be caught match in hand!

Time flys but it never changes!

To be fair though, back then the Catholics were a bit of a handful. The Gunpowder plot was only the latest in many attempts to reverse England's change to C of E. Just ask the Oxford Martyrs how kind and Christian they were

Brighton - even Hove!

When I was at school we learn about Guido Fawkes. Kids don't seem to know about the 'Penny for the Guy'. Z

Most schools teach about the Gunpowder Plot in Yr2. It's great fun, the kids really engage with it.

Putting the 'cum' in Eboracum

We don't burn guys in York. Guy Fawkes is an old York boy so it would be rude.

"Mmm cornish pasty "

Psst I do realise the word is patsy. I don't always call out/ type out pastry produce. Just so you know.

Don't worry, I do it often. Someone had an awful dilemma recently. I recommended pie.
