trick or treat...

We've had about 7 or 8 lots here tonight so far - mainly younger children from the cul-de-sac so we don't mind really. We have a plastic pumpkin that we put the haloween sweets in and they are happy with a couple of sweets each - we still have 1 and a half bags left!

The only ones I dont like are the teenagers that haven't made any effort at all and are hoping for money. They get no such luck from me - it's sweets or nothing :D

The day care centre where my little Hannah goes had a fancy dress day today so we got her the cutest little witch outfit and she got a prize :D

pic to follow later :thumbs:
 
well its almost 9, no callers and not answering the door to any now - its too late.

Damn, all this chocolate left over
 
Had none this year
The sign on the door saying no trick or treat must be helping then. Or maybe because the locals tend not to outscare the goths & rockers round here...!

What p***es me off most is the fact that carloads of them turn up round here, get dropped off in a street, trick or treat, then move on to the next street. That is just downright rude - although it sounds like a form of professional begging to me.
 
that ******* sucks

i live in an old terraced house which is completely different from the modern brickshack council housing surrounding my terrace, so i guess we're an easy target as well, hence the 5 knocks tonight and similar number last night and in the past weeks. hence why i havent opened the door, they'll probably spend it on bottles of buckfast and nodders to use with thier 12 year old girlfriend/wife/sister
 
On my way home i watched two kids in bin liners being driven around by their parents to all the houses by me. Parents never even left the car, just sat in the middle of the road with the engine running while their kids knocked doors.

:thumbsdown:

sorry but driving to "better area's" to trick or treat is just not on IMO.

good job i wasnt in tonight else i'd probably be banged upnow for murdering trick or treaters
 
Its just a load of americanised nonsense! Spend forever teaching kids to not talk to strangers and not to beg or pester people for things. Then for one night they are told to do the opposite! Seems a bit stupid in my opinion.

I just confused the last 3 lots of kids by saying trick and then just waiting by the front door till they buggered off...confused them and they just walked away muttering, with some odd looks from the parents :D Thankfully I am in the countryside and crime is non existant - so no fear of retrebution.
 
Well, I took my lads (7 and 3) trick or treating. I'll have to find an excuse to knock on No 10's door again - she's absolutely lully!!! :lol:

Hahah..

I don't mind kids (not that i will answer the door anyway) going trick or treating in cars because its not safe enough for them to be walking round on their own and round here it's usual for teenagers to throw eggs at trick or treaters..:thinking: Mature lot they are..
 
I've had to work this halloween but last year I dug my frankenstien costume out and scared the **** out of anyone who came to my door.

I was one of those kids because the rich neighborhoods in the states gave out whole candy bars not those little bite sized things! It was great!

Number 10, Cherie Bl**r.................. are you mixed up. :nuts:
 
I don't mind it, unfortuantely it is ruined by a minority. Some of which thought it was funny to throw milk or yogurt all down the side of my beemer, been out washing it off this morning, not amused.

Other than that a pretty quiet night only about 6 callers.

I got absolutely no trick or treaters yesterday at all, neither did my sister... so being a nice person I went around to her house today to help her with all the sweets and cakes she had left over... :D Im starting to feel a bit ill now.. :(

Good job you didn't live on the coucil estate I grew up on Jimmy.

I remember we were asked for a Trick once, so one of the kids wrapped dog poo up in paper, put on the path out side the house and lit it, then knocked the door and ran away. Hopeing that when they came out they would stamp on it to put out the fire and get poo all over there shoes. It worked.

It was funny as a kid, but I dont condone that sort of behaviour now :D

So does anyone else remember any of the tricks they played as kids.

I wasnt there but was told a kid who piled a load of bottles and cans on someones path and door step and stood on the garden and started shouting and swearing and urinating. When they came out they fell over and the kid ran off.
Also round my cousins one halloween playing in the bedroom with him and my uncle got dressed up and climbed some ladders to the windows and scared the crap out of us. quite Literally with my cousin :lol:
 
We had loads of kids coming around, I live in "Nappy Valley" in South West London and we had a couple of pumpkins on the doorstep and plenty of sweets and chocolates for those who knocked. All the kids were polite and well behaved, even the older ones. We had the last call at about 8 o'clock after our kids had gone to bed.
At 10.45 I was just going up to bed and the door bell rang, it was a 10 year old boy on his own saying "trick or treat". I told him all the sweets had gone (the remaining ones had all been scoffed by me!) and he said "how about 50p".
I sent him packing and watched out of the window as he stumbled across the road and bothered the next neighbour. It's very sad but he did seem to be drunk or high...
 
give em some fruit, or even better some celery, word soon gets round ;)
