Just had a zombie Gloria Gaynor at the front door.

At first I was afraid, I was petrified



Thanks, I just made that up myself.

Absolute load of over-Americanised, over-commercialised crap.

Glad I don't have to deal with it where I live.

My company is having a Halloween costume competition this afternoon. I'm going as an English software developer. I reckon the prize is in the bag.

I didn't win the prize. Clearly a fix

Moaners going to moan!

Put a pumpkin full of sweets on the door step for the little ones to help themselves. Went upstairs to get ready to go out, and some ******** have taken the lot. Pumpkin and all.

Felt exactly the same until we had our daughter. She is 3 now, and absolutely loves Halloween. It's all for the little kids where I live, quite a few houses get decorated and each year it gets bigger.

I took the dog out for his usual walk last night and was confronted with hoards of parents and kids trick or treating.
They were like a crazed mob of Bogans (equivalent to Chavs over there).
Going to peoples' doors at least 15 at a time and causing chaos.
When they were told to go away the parents would shout obscenities at the home owners and so would the kids.
I also witnessed parents helping themselves to the swag collected and stuffing it down their throats and in their pockets.
'Oh, it's for the kids', that is pure bullcrap, it's a way for these people to save having to pay for this stuff themselves.
It is begging with intent and totally vulgar, it should be stopped before people start to take exception to the way they are treated on their own doorstep.
They don't knock on my door as the dog is usually loose and though not aggressive he is very large.
If someone came to my door and responded the way these 'harmless' beggars did, a dentist appointment would be their next step.
Typical Americanism, we'll all be carrying guns next.
Houses welcoming trick or treaters should display a sign of their intent and the rest should be left well alone.
In Brighton I once arrived home after taking the kids to an organised Halloween event to catch a teenager throwing an egg at my house because I hadn't responded to their knocking and the fact that no one was in was irrelevant.
I grabbed him and wiped off the residue with his coat, 'king nerve of them.

Its has never registered on my social calendar, guess i'm old but it didn't exist in the UK when i was a kid, only the yanks used use it, which is strange as it was originally a British thing then, again the Americans took it over and celebrated it, and like sheep us Brits copied it back.

The rule is simple where I live, you only knock on doors that had a pumpkin outside, lights or other decoration. Where I live there are loads of little kids, at about six thirty the whole thing was finished.

Must be nice where you live.
Having said that, it is nice where I live, but very rarely, like on Halloween, we are plagued with these hoards and it is getting worse every year.
I think it is the scum that live down on the flats thinking us in the hills are loaded.
I never recognise any of them and I know a lot of people where I live.

Have you moved to Newhaven Mike?

The kids these days prefer Halloween to Bonfire night, as the sweets are free. In my day, we had to work a lot harder. Dress up a guy, push it around or park near shops and wait for the occasional penny. Then it was hot foot down to the nearest sweet shop to spend our hard gotten gains on a fistful of confectionary.
p.s Happily quiet in the chez Gosfield area last night. Front door bolted, lights dimmed and big sign on the front door saying..." Please do not disturb...contagious illness inside "

Hehe, I used to have a factory unit in Newhaven so get what you mean.

Completely the opposite where I am. The estate is 10 years old, Bovis new build. 4 bed, 3 bed, and coach houses. We had one trouble maker but she went about a year ago.

Sooner they get the diggers down the east side of the port, create something special, Newhaven will change. Parker pen demolished was the final straw. Newhaven has so much potential.
