    So you're not bothering with Halloween this year then?

Then ring the bell and sweetly ask for trick or treat.

      I was unaware as to what had happened and reached for the bowl of treats. She called out to me what had just happened and told the kids to get lost. They walked round to the neighbours drive and hurled a bottle of lager at her, just smashing inches from her feet and showering her and the kids in broken glass.

      I totally flipped and gave chase. They legged it.

      We called the police, and gave an account with descriptions of kids in halloween costumes (like this would do any good).

      No doubt they will be back later, mob handed to put my windows through and stab me.

      **** Halloween, serioulsy.
      Seriously? Stamped pumpkins? Lager? Broken glass?

      Where the hell do you live, the Broncs?

      (Though we have one popped balloon and someone knicked the entire bucket and probably would only have cut one with a razor)

      You know what they say about assumptions!

            Abso-sodding-lutely. Have a for SY02 and the kids who witnessed it.

            Demanding money with menaces is already illegal so 'trick or treat' should have been stopped before it took off.

              See I think this is where you can start to differentiate between people in life. By not embracing the community you shut yourself off from it. By not knowing your neighbours, local kids, being part of the school/community etc then you become an outsider. Different. The miserable twat at the end of the road who can be wound up.

              Next think you've got excrement through the door.

              Bet you hate Xmas carollers as well!

                    Nope, you got that totally got that wrong.

                    It is specifically the Trick or Treat activity I have a problem with. Penny for the Guy, carol-singing, first-footing, street parties, community bonfires & fireworks - all OK by me.

                    Strangers knocking on my door demanding stuff otherwise they will damage my property: criminal bastards.

                      Why does everyone knock London when there are other delights out there like Luton. Seriously?
