  Notes	George's father Maurie has a memory of one Guy Fawkes Night (5 Nov) probably about 1946-1949 when George dropped a live cracker into the box of fireworks with resultant confusion and panic - but no injury or damage except that Guy Fawkes night was all over in a few seconds! George has a different version of this event, preferring to accuse cousins Bert and Ronnie MacFarlane (who were staying at 102 Cairns Street) for the misfire, and he was sent back into the house for safety.
