    Actually, it looks a lot like the "Angel" that Lisa digs up in an episode of the Simpsons that turns out to be an advertising gimmick for a nearby mall....

    I've just looked at 'Properties' and it seems to be a burning effigy of the Pope.

    Where from, for Pete's (St Peter's?) sake?

    Do people still carry out this 16th-century (for want of a better word at the moment) rite?

    I'm not a Catholic, but this does make me shudder.

    Frances O: If it is an effigy of the pope, it may well be in Lewes, where traditionally this is carried out every bonfire night.

    (Just get automatic yucks at religious intolerance. I'd go so far as to say I find it hard to tolerate ;o) )

    Anyone who hasn't been to the traditional activities for Bonfire Night in Lewes would perhaps find it all very mystifying, but the town has particular historical links with Guy Fawkes and also with the problems of religious intolerance. Far too complex for me to explain simply, but the weblink explains much of it.

    Nowadays, it is an extraordinary night out, and has a quite pagan feel to it. Needless to say, it is extremely well attended and anyone thinking of going should leave their car behind and make sure they are prepared for big crowds and a lot of standing around.

    I seem to remember that Lewes has a large memorial on a hill to commemorate the martyrs under Mary. This was erected some time in the earl 20th century, which seems to me to suggest that the good people of Lewes have a very Long memory.

    Big Sister, i am not at all sure that belting the Pope with a floating plastic duck is going to be a long-term solution to

    well, to anything much, really.

    Mind you, one might get a lot of personal satisfaction from walloping a certain highly-paid Â鶹¹ÙÍøÊ×Ò³Èë¿Ú type with a duck. Or with the bucket. Or with the Martyrs' Memorial.


    Hmmmmmmmmmm. I need to think about this.
