So this is it CapK.

It is bonfire night this week, hardly anyone has their party on November 5th, they have it on the nearest Saturday, today, I've just come back from one. There are rockets and catherine wheels and roman candles in back gardens, in parks and public places. Your Kiwi ears are just not tuned in properly. I hope you remembered to lock up the pets.

(Either that or this evening's news headline about the assault on the Taleban front line shows a stunning lack of geographical accuracy)
