Some years children come to the door guising. With the americanisation of UK and there being a lot of roman catholics in a nearby estate there have been trick-or-treaters going round the doors in recent years, so I dont answer the door to them.
What is it with the recent trend for pumpkins anyway, the children that observed halloween used to use neeps when I was young.Last edited by Aman; 1 November 2010, 04:18.Comment

Where I grew up in the South/South West we marked Halloween with hollowed-out pumpkins and apple bobbing but there was never any trick-or-treating.
We never had any trick-or-treating in the part of London we lived in. All the local kids were Muslim so I am not sure whether they would be likely to get involved.
They do the trick-or-treating in New Zealand though. Last year we were living in the wild west and there were loads of them. I am not sure that they would really have gone through with any tricks though, and some of them just wished us Happy Halloween rather than anything else. One big bag of cheap and nasty sweets bought for about £2 was perfectly adequate supply for the night.
This year I am living in a better area. We didn't get any knocks on the door.Comment

Neither my mother nor my wife's mother - because of their upbringing (one in a Yorkshire mill town and the other in a Welsh mining town) - would ever have countenanced such a waste of food.
We can both recall seeing it being done on Blue Peter but neither of us have first hand experience of carving lanterns out of any vegetable.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment
