I have just seen my first this year, today in Stoke-on-Trent(England). An intriguing new design(new for round here, anywhere).In recent years Guys have been made by stuffing garments with newspaper(or other old garments). The heads have generally been carrier bags, stuffed with something, and a very badly drawn rudimentary face on a piece of paper, stuck on the bag.
   The one today, however, was interesting in three ways. Firstly, the proprietor was a little girl, they are normally boys. Secondly, the body was not specially made, but was a very large teddy bear, dressed up in kid's clothes. The face was I felt the most interesting cultural development. Echoing the general takeover of this time of year by American-style Halloween marketing, the girl had used a red plastic devil mask to stick onto the teddy-bear. So quite a mixture of the Halloween and Guy Fawkes elements.
    What's going on down your way?
