Should be this. People just ignore that though. Don't mind so much if it's young kids but teenagers piss me off. Go get a paper round and buy yourself some chocolate that's what I did.NomadicAddick said:I think the general rule that is accepted by decent people is that if your property does not display any sort of Halloween decoration then people will not call.

yeah i open the door till about 7.30 and a bowl of sweets is offered, after that i draw the curtains turn the lights off and dont answer the door, having a dog that goes beserk every time the door gets knocked is a bit of a nightmare, @NomadicAddick is bang on it should be if your displaying haloween stuff you can knock, really got the hump with it this year, dont get the fancy dress idea like was in the pub Saturday night and a bloke was walking round with the mock scouser outfit on why??, although the 3 slutty nurses that walked in behind certainly weren't getting any complaints.5

when did Halloween get such a big deal over here, dont remember it being that much of an event when I was younger.5

Halloween was usurped by the 17th century authorities after the gunpowder plot as a means to remember and celebrate the execution of Fawkes and Co and the survival of the crown and parliament ..roseandcrown said:when did Halloween get such a big deal over here, dont remember it being that much of an event when I was younger.
SO .. the 'celebration' has partially gone back to its 'roots' ...
to me it seems just another bonanza for the big shop chains, flogging ever more elaborate costumes and related stuff .. still, lots of children seem to enjoy it and despite the pressure on parents who might be struggling for cash, I guess it's harmless enough .. a good old pagan celebration for the coming of winter, death of the old soon followed by the birth of the new
Round here, I have seen quite a few youngsters out doing penny for the guy, first time for quite a few years that I can recall .. so Guy Fawkes night still retains some social credence .. and I do like the sound and sight of fireworks and bonfires2 -
It is actually a British tradition dating back to Roman times. It was us that exported it to the USA. Admittedly they have run with the idea far better than we have.Halix said:Bloody Americanisation of our Yoof!.

I'd never even heard of trick or treat till I saw it on tv on Charlie Brown some time in the 70s.0

Re the Nandoes kids. Was in the George in Bexley Saturday lunchtime, when a mum push two small girls through the door, in costumes. Obviously intention was to collect money, basically most people are to embarresed not to give them 50p. However, manager shooed them out after they had only pestered a couple of tables. The mum stood outside waiting. Scum of the earth using your kids to beg.4

I think its probably best to go to the pub tonight to avoid the door knocking as it can be quite tedious. So best spent in the pub I reckon. In a normal pub, not in a pub where grown men are in fancy dress without their kids with them... that would just be plain weird. :-)

Little ponces are out already.
"Can I take two sweets?"
"No, one until you've lost some weight tubby."8 -

You want to take sweets then you can pay towards the cost of the new batteries for my door bell you little scrotes.5 -
Went for an Indian in welling on Friday night, 10 of us sitting there eating our dinner when 3 kids come in with buckets saying trick or treat, 2 mums standing out side waiting smoking Fags. I mean what the fuck is that all about . Couldn't believe it. I'm All for a bit of a fun but sending your kids into busy restaurants to ponce a bit of money is a joke cos who the fuck carries Freddos and Haribo round with them whilst out for dinner . Pissed me
Right off. I told em to do one4 -
Streets here packed with kids and adults all dressed up and a real buzz about the place. Some guys have done fantastic jobs on their houses. One with witches on wires screaming across the drive, smoke machines and music.2

We used to do Trick or Treat up & down our hill when we were kids, the difference being we'd spend two days making our own costumes together which was the best bit.
Sometimes you'd get an apple or a toffee each. If anyone had chosen the 'Trick' option, we wouldn't have had a clue what to do. Blockbuster.1 -

Kent actually, which all though I have never been to Hollywood, I bet is much like here. If I knew how to post photos I would put a couple up.Alwaysneil said:

We spend 364 days of the year warning kids of "stranger danger" and "don't take sweets from strangers" but tonight parents encourage their kids to go looking for people to take sweets from AND dress them up?? This must be the "paedophile's holiday"5

Parents sending kids into pubs and restaurants is plain wrong.
I would mix in a few blocks of ex-lax with chunks of bournville and dairy milk to give out and sleep sound in the knowledge that those parents will be spending the early hours of the morning airing little johnnies bedroom whilst the washing machine is in overdrive.7 -

Good venue for Halloween though. Graveyard with a real witch are a rarity!

I answer in a foreign language if anyone like this approaches.
happy to keep the mock misunderstanding going for ages as it reduces the number of other people who get bothered.1
