Crash, bang, wallop, here we go again. We all know what <strong>November</strong><br />
means in <strong>Lewes</strong>, and it isn’t going to be quiet. Whatever measures the cops take<br />
there’ll be rookies going off left, right and centre, vying with the brass bands<br />
blaring, aerials screeching, “Burn the Pope” yelling, Sussex by the Sea singing,<br />
drum bashing, archbishop ranting, bagpipe wailing, and general mob-goesmad<br />
hubbub that vies for ear-space on the Fifth. And it’s not just the aurals: think of those<br />
smells (the whiff of cordite) sensations (the rumble of thunder) visuals (um… everything)<br />
and tastes (what’s your poison?) We can’t wait, as ever, but, having read through all the fine<br />
Bonfire Society programmes on sale this year, we’ve decided to have a ‘quiet’ one, leaving<br />
you to get the bulk of your news from those admirable ever-more-professional-looking<br />
fund-raising publications. Our main Fifth-related feature, in fact, focusses on a number of<br />
bonfires, from across the county, captured by JJ Waller BEFORE they are set alight. And,<br />
keeping on the ‘quiet’ theme, we’re sparing a thought for <strong>Lewes</strong>’ pet population, many of<br />
whom won’t be enjoying the celebrations: in fact we’ve got advice from a number of vets<br />
as to the best thing to do with your domestic animals the night <strong>Lewes</strong>’ human population<br />
goes completely mad. The theme this month, then, craftily refers to <strong>Lewes</strong>’ biggest annual<br />
celebration, and the animals who so fear it: ‘Creatures… of The Night’. Enjoy the issue…<br />
