Haven't seen it for years. Always used to have someone doing it outside the co op on green lane in Thornton heath when I was little

Not sick. Just rooted in reality.

In the 60's our little gang from Wrythe Green used to have a guy at Carshalton Station.... very lucrative it was.

The Station Master used to try and chase us off, but we gradually got back up the hill and outside the station with our Guy on a home made cart and our cries of "Please Mr....spare a penny for the Guy.... pleeaassse?"

One year we made enough for a full hour's display around our bonfire, even allowing for the fact that most days we bought bangers and let them off before November 5th.... but we never started collecting before a week to go. These days fireworks are going off in late September.

They always used to have a bonfire at the Streatham common display as well. Don't know of anywhere that has a bonfire at their display anymore.

I still take my kids to Brockham each year and it is huge with an enormous bonfire - two great pubs on the green and the best fireworks I've seen, although I think Lewes is supposed to be pretty good too. There's a bonfire bus to Brockham from Redhill station if you don't want to drive - but there's loads of parking.
