He wasn't British, but may have been of British descent.

Plus in Harrow, which is where I went, there's a very large Hindu population, so a lot of the fireworks were let off to celebrate Diwali rather than Guy Fawkes'.newhousenewjobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108475172391675961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-32229043656415685812007-11-05T22:51:00.000+00:002007-11-05T22:51:00.000+00:00Ah heck --- is there any day that you can all safe...Ah heck --- is there any day that you can all safely celebrate together and just relax and have a good time with all the trimmings?gemoftheoceanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05521207668262592414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3499957141699011933.post-25886699302462091112007-11-05T22:31:00.000+00:002007-11-05T22:31:00.000+00:00It's not really a national holiday (ie. no time of...It's not really a national holiday (ie. no time off work)... it's just an excuse to let off fireworks!Mulier Fortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186202810919174492noreply@blogger.com
