Wrong day of the week Uncle. We have two massive organised displays for "charity" near to us every year.
One took place over two nights (Monday 3rd Nov and Tuesday 4th Nov) and the other last night (at least they got the 5th).
Apart from those two it was, as you say, very quiet. I suspect that many will be doing their "home thing" on this coming Saturday.
