Bonfire Muffin & Coffee
Guy Fawkes Night commemorates the failed Gunpowder Plot of 1605 with bonfires, fireworks and seasonal treats. A hot coffee served in a combustible paper cup adds a touch of irony to the festivities. At the University of Plymouth, bonfire muffins and coffee bring together English tradition, campus hospitality and fire safety.

Mortuary Arts
There are several ANSI accredited standards that apply to mortuary science, particularly in the areas of forensic science and medicolegal death investigation.

It is a very competitive domain, with multi-national manufacturers driving (artifically) intelligent building innovation. The United Kingdom standardization authority -- BSI Group -- is the Global Secretariat.
