Some Things Never Change

Truly, some things are pretty unchangeable. The sky is blue, and boys will be boys and do stupid and dangerous things on bonfire night.


This article from The South Wales Echo on 15th November 1900:

REMEMBER THE FIFTH OF

NOVEMBER

-----

Some Barry Boys are not likely to readily for-

get it. They attempted to celebrate Guy Fawkes

night by letting off fireworks in the street, and

this morning were called upon to appear before

the magistrates at the Police Court. Five lads -

John Ash, Henry Williams, William Harris,

Emmanuel Williams, and Alfred Williams -

were each fined 5s including costs, while Ree[s]

Jones, a Cadoxton juvenile, who disobeyed the

summons, was ordered to appear at the next

sitting of the court.

 

 

I hope no-one is planning the same on this November 5th - keep yourselves and your pets safe!
