I am opening a fireworks shop in Ravensthorpe near Dewsbury in Yorkshire. Any ideas of decoration I can use to brighten the place up. Handels firework music in the background maybe, or some info on the History of Guy Fawkes - my inspirational muse is having a day/week off at the moment. Any help appreciated

Peggy Lee's "Don't smoke in bed" and Tommy Steele's "Flash Bang Wallop" spring to this demented mind.

Arthur Brown doing "Fire". Jose Feliciano doing "Light my fire" (I prefer the Woody Herman version) but, please, NOT ""Candle in the Wind".

Patrish, I really hate to rain on your parade, but you won't get much help from me. I do not approve of fireworks being purchased and used by individuals. There are far too many injuries and fires caused by them to be worth the paltry amount of entertainment. I do support the large, public displays put on by professionals, but I have seen serious accidents even at those. The difference is that fire trucks and trained fire control people are ON SITE and standing by to assist.

During the US BiCentennial the display I was watching had two major failures--a large mortar type shell went off on the ground (delay fuse shorted out) and a large ground ground board fell over and started a grass fire. If the Fire Dept had not been there, it would have been a major disaster..............

My Old Flame? You could use the Spike Jones version....

Several No Smoking signs prominently displayed would be a good idea too.

When we lived in England my brother thought it was really great the way the British celebrated his birthday with fireworks.

It is Nov. 5, naturally.
