    We haven't had any trick or treaters tonight, so that was a waste of the boiled sprouts in chocolate and gluten/dairy free treats I'd bought in especially.

    Then I remembered this is in the door

      I have no problem with little Jayden and Michaela scrounging for sweets as long as their chavvy parents don't kick off again like they did last year if one of them sets off one of my homemade IEDs!

        About 20 this year (maybe 25), which is less than last year. We like to put some stuff outside though.

              We get around a dozen knocks on the door, all pre-teens. We follow the lit pumpkin rule as well. It's good to redress the balance on not accepting sweets from strangers

              I prefer penny for the guy and forget the American rubbish.

                I used to live in Salford and made the mistake of being home first Halloween. Got gangs of 5 or 6 10-14 year olds in standard chav gear. It was more like money by menace than trick or treat. Never made that mistake again.

                  The shops round here started Christmas a couple of weeks ago. Halloween doesn't get a look in. On Saturday the only evidence I saw that it was approaching Halloween was a British kid in batman costume with her dad in a supermarket.

                  It's so delightful to live in a civilised country.

                    Our village shop had pumpkins in the window, but that was the height of their Halloween stuff. Any unsold pumpkins, or ones on the turn, are going to be donated to us and other chicken owners. The birds love them.
