Reply to: First trick or treaters

We had are doorbell rang about 15 times.

I was on a conference call and at one point accidently knocked my phone off mute, so the yanks on the other end of the phone heard me talking to trick or treaters!

We had a great time, we made scary fairy cakes to give away as well as loads of sweets.
We had about 12 lots of kids and they had all made an effort - some great homemade outfits.

I took my daughter out round to her friends houses to trick or treat and she loved it.

Looking forward to Bonfire night next

I went out because it's the only night of the year I can walk the streets without being laughed at, pointed at, and called a freak (or worse).

We went out with the grandkids to throw stones at some contractors house, but he'd gone out so we didn't bother

We went out, because kids round here like to throw stones at windows even on normal days. Returned to find house unscathed

[Diver]

is that supposed to be a trick or a treat?

Not a pretty sight I can assure you

[BrilloPad]

just rang the bell and I haven't even got the hosepipe from the garage yet.

Pleased I advised the kids to use live ammo in their guns instead of duds.....

Very quiet this year - went out with the kids and only visited half the number of houses.

gf gift wrapped bags of sweets - only 12 gone! 5 seperate visits! in 3 hours!

we dressed the baby as a skeleton......

I just strut around the front room, wearing a big wig, with "do you wanna be in my gang..." playing loudly in the background.

No kids at the door so far, but plenty of parents.

I can't help feeling Trick or Treat in Britain is a myth.

My last house there were loads of the buggers. but then it was an estate with loads of kids. The parents normally lurked in the background to ensure all was well.

Much more recently, there has been a lot of egg-throwing on Halloween, so much so that the local shops get twitchy about selling eggs to anyone under 25 within a week of Oct 31st. This after some houses were pelted very badly

Three lots round so far

I always make a point of pretending to be out, but then nobody's ever knocked. I can't help feeling Trick or Treat in Britain is a myth.
