So, why are there fireworks today in the UK? Because we are a nation of festive pyromaniacs. We will find any excuse to ignite something. It’s in our blood—right after complaining about the weather and queuing politely. Today could be Bonfire Night (early), Diwali, a wedding, a retirement party for a goldfish, or just Kevin’s Tuesday.
Embrace the chaos. Open your window, pretend you’re a Viking raider, and say, “Ooh, that’s a nice purple one.” Because in the UK, the answer to “Why are there fireworks today?” is almost always: “Does it matter? They’re pretty!” Now, pass the earplugs.
