The children dress up a life size straw man in period costume and carry him about in a wheelbarrow begging adults to donate "A penny (more like a pound these days) for the Guy?" which they use to buy explosives. Turnips are carved with horror faces and lit with a candle. Then on the night of the 5th November they put the straw human on a bonfire and watch him burn whilst simultaneously setting the explosive fireworks alight. Pumpkins - pah, you Colonials are amateurs!Geoff Allam wrote: ↑Fri Sep 18, 2020 5:22 pmIf you don't have pumpkins then what do children carve for Halloween ? My heart bleeds for those poor British children carving turnips and in a pinch parsnips or large radishes.![]()
