4 things every student should do this Bonfire Night weekend
Friday, November 7th, 2008
1. Release your inner child
Who says toffee apples and sparklers are for kids?
Toffee apples are so easy to make and sparklers go for as little as 30p a packet in Tesco.
Just make sure you cool the sparklers in earth or water before binning them - unless you enjoy the odour of melting bin bags.
2. Go to a free firework event
Every city has a fireworks/bonfire extravaganza of some sort - opt for those and cut out the expense, danger and general nuisance of lighting your own bonfire.
Not only is one less bonfire better for the environment (and hedgehogs), it also means that alcohol isn’t off the menu.
3. Make a toffee apple cocktail
Surprisingly similar to the cocktail recommended in the blog post for Halloween, this lemonade, apple and butterscotch schnapps concoction sounds a bit too sweet - but at least you won’t have toffee in your teeth.
4. Lock-up!
Bonfire night is like Christmas for burglars - make sure you lock up!
