<font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">It's to celebrate [img]wink.gif[/img] the plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament by Guy Fawkes and his gang of reprobates (including my ancestor Sir Everard Digby - FACT!!!) in 1605 or thereabouts.</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="3" face="Tempus sans ITC, Papyrus,Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">LOL there's whole story behind Terry's infamous ancestor and the place where that plot was concocted. Turns out that one my ancestors lived in that very place!! [img]eek.gif[/img]
