We've had 7 - I feel for my doorbell to be honest, if it rings one more bloody time I'm going to have to start attacking it

I've had 5 lots of 'em so far, every time I sit down the bloody door bell rings. I think I'll send my little lad out next year so at least we get something back for our trouble!

I totally disapprove of Halloween.

Like trick or treat it's a (fairly recent) American import, promoted by Walmart as a way of selling cheap tat and pumpkins. As a splendid article in the Guardian the other day put it, a combination of ASDA and ASBO.



When I was a tiny kid, growing up in Leeds, we celebrated "Mischievous Night" on November 4th. No "trick or treat" nonsense. Only one option was available ... "Trick".

Err, common misconception alert

Trick or Treat is american, yes. The policy of kids scrounging sweets for a party on Halloween was done in Ireland as far back as the 1920's if not earlier.

Remember, we invented the damn thing
:lolol:

You miserable tight-fisted bunch!

It's about time you realised that Trick or Treating is as much fun for the givers as the receivers. How often do you get the chance to bring happiness to so many kids? Most people I know really look forward to making the kids smile. It is especially popular with old folk living on their own who don't get many visitors.

Well said. Exactly what I was going to say until I got to your post. You bunch of miserable whinging bastards. Get involved and stop being such a bunch of sad old *****.
