Peterhs: perhaps likely, but by no means certain. Last year we obeyed the gatherings law. This year, your guess is as good as mine. Booster needed/developed/used. New variants. Results of easing, especially schools. Probable relaxation of foreign travel law. Abolition of test and trace? All leading to what reinstated law on mass gatherings?

I felt the need to rebut what I considered a psychologically threatening statement. I feel that if you accept that something is definitely going to happen chances are that it may. If I were to say that you were definitely going to get your head kicked in tomorrow by you know who, how would you feel? It would be unlikely but I think you might be uneasy for the odd moment. That's why I just made my statement on a thread that had been idle for days. Superstitious, maybe but that's my own affair and it felt positive. If I have offended forum etiquette, tell me what are the rules of engagement in a snake pit?

LOL must be a tiny snake pit, given only about 4 of us post these days. Perhaps three snakes to one rat I guess that does seem an unfair disadvantage for you.

@peterhs my guess is that people thought you were ironically asking a rhetorical question.

I just wanted to give our friends in Sheffield an idea whether they could come down for a normal Bonfire Night and when we might know if it was going ahead.

Will it be on? It seems unlikely given the rise in cases and the fact that other local towns have cancelled / are cancelling their celebrations. My son plans to have his 25th birthday at the bonfire. He has friends coming from London, Brighton, Crawley and Peterborough. I have tried to tell him to just invite the local group. Presumably there will be a cut off date to make a decision, i.e. before tickets go on sale? Because if they cancelled it too late it would be a disaster/heedless. Also where do you buy tickets? Any other tips?

I thought you'd know Tom that was a rhyme from the early 19th century. It was humorously meant and I'm sorry you took it is a slur.

No fuss Bas' you caught me in a combative mood and I can't resist a rhyming ruck.

RAD (who are based in Australia) is advising that bonfire is certainly on and advising people to buy tickets (although they don't say how). But bearing in mind that it is also telling visitors to get their costumes ready, this may not be an entirely trustworthy source.

Love the open invitation! It's great to see a space where people can freely share their thoughts. Looking forward to hearing... more
QUOTE OF THE MOMENT
I like The Grange Gardens, and the way the teashop has the most odd mixture of china from the charity shops
