记住，记住11月5号，炸药，叛国与阴谋。

1605年，一群英格兰天主教极端分子试图炸毁英国国会大厦。“火药阴谋”的目的是杀害詹姆一世和他的大臣并企图恢复天主教。如果这帮天主教徒成功了，“火药阴谋”就会成为当时的九一一袭击事件。如今在烟火节，我们把阴谋策划人（盖伊·福克斯）的假人像放在篝火顶上，庆祝他当场被抓获阴谋没有得逞。

17世纪以来，“城堡法”中对住所和家的定义是，一个人合法拥有房产的地方。可以享受一定的保护，同时有权拒绝任何人进入他的家。无论多小，住的与繁忙的市区多远，无论多难得到贷款，英国人觉得都是值得的，第二次世界大战结束之后拥有自己房子的人越来越多。
与1918年相比，在英国66%的人拥有自己的房子。
