In the UK this year we descended into full scale Americana aka commercialised Halloween. So has anyone seen a Guy on the streets this year?

Or indeed over the last 10 years or longer?

What is it that makes Halloween so attractive to kids and adults in the UK. The 99p and £1 shops are full of tatty kids clothes - all likely to be made in the sweat shops of Asia and fully inflammable.

Jeeze - even collecting conkers are ignored by most (now all?) Brit. kids. The actual game was long banned by the Nanny State we have evolved into.

But my question is - where are all of the Guys?

Apart from Lewes and other towns in Sussex which have a healthy disrespect for authority and hold November 5th bonfire celebrations with Guys on top and fireworks.
