Must admit I prefer the 80's to the Fm service personally!

Were there any other bonfires on in the Dudley area last night?

It seems to me, the only pulling points for Himley were 'Free Buses' & a local radio station(Free I presume).

Lets face it, one Catherine Wheel is the same as any other, whatever the location.

How much was it to get into Himley anyway?

Over in Walsall, the three main bonfires over the past few weeks(Bloxwich, Brownhills & Willenhall) were £4 each.

I went to the Bloxwich one a couple of years back. Ok £4 might seem a bit steep, but at least there wasn't any traffic problems.

Didn't Walsall used to do theirs in the Arboruteum at one point?

Wasn't that on a similar scale to Himley?

Himley had basically been turned into a small Alton Towers for the night, I didn't go in but it looked absolutely amazing from the outside

To answer some of the questions (hopefully)

I was told it was £9 for adults
I quote some of the comments I heard:
"If I'd wanted rides I would have gone to Alton Towers"
"What happened to the big bang at the end?, No car alarms going off..nothing"
"It wasn't as good as last year"
"How much did you pay for that burger!!!!!!"
"If I have to pay an adult fare I'm not going in!"
I know you will all say negative old me but honestly I did not hear any positives. This is what I heard, I did not go in and I did not see only it did seam like the fireworks didn't last long and they seamed to 'fizzle out' rather than 'finish with a bang'!

Talking to my lift this morning & she said she went to a school in Sedgley.

It was rammed & she paid £13 for the privilege apparently.
