Still three days away from this stupid poxy American non-holiday and the little b@stards are already on the streets.

Sod off! 

[Varche]

Ha ha 

Am i right in thinking you are not a fan?

[BazaJT]

Touch wood we don't seem to get them round here either find us coffin dodgers too frightening or too scared that they'll gives us all heart attacks or something

[Viral_Jim]

Ha ha 

Am i right in thinking you are not a fan?

Yup, I dislike the whole premise, and the fact it's an(other) imported American holiday we all have to suffer through for the good of the confectionery and plastic tat industry.

Normally I remedy this problem by being out on the night itself, but it seems any evening give or take about a week is fair game round here.

Bah Humbug 

[Lizzie Zoom]

Yep, here we go again.

We teach our children not to accept sweets from strangers, but at Halloween they are allowed out en mass to do just that!  Crazy!

[Toledodude1973]

I just pretend our collie dogs are killers when i answer the door,yelling at them to leave the callers alone

Or rather we teach them it's ok to ask for things from strangers for free and then do something nasty to them if they don't comply.

Lovely. 

[Lizzie Zoom]

Just stick a crucifix to your front door!

  There is that as well

[Doctor Gollum]

I may well leave the car at work on Tuesday morning and have an early night

jimmy Saville lives here.

[BazaJT]

Not trick or treaters but someone a couple of streets away are letting off fireworks like they own the factory

[Sir Tigger KC]

Same here. 

[STEMO]

Yes, fireworks here too. It’s gonna be a long week for the poor dog.

[STEMO]

As for trick or treaters, the little ones round here only come on the actual night. They make a real effort with their dressing up, must take them and their parents hours. They are also happy with a small bar of chocolate or the like, unlike some of the little bastards we’ve had at previous addresses who want money.
I’m quite looking forward to it.

[STEMO]

The only slight satisfaction I get from the fireworks is that, every time I hear a large bang, I know that some braindead bastard is a pound or two worse off.

[2boxerdogs]

Hate fireworks with a vengeance, should only be used in displays by suitably qualified people & not on sale to the general public, as for Halloween load of shite.

[Rods2]

Another excellent official annual Sandhurst Town Council firework display tonight, there must have been 5-10k watching. At about 9:30 walked down to local offie for 4 tins, where I had run out of beer. Coming the other way was a local pub crawl group of scantily dressed Halloween girls, said hello and had to turn around and make sure the scantily clad girls kept swinging their skimpy skirted hips and kept on walking, so I wouldn't suffer a zombie attack. Another tough job in life but somebody has to do them.

[Bigron]

At least you saved them from unwanted sexual attention, Rods2 - by controlling yourself! 

Ron.

[ronnyd]

What makes you think it would have been unwanted Ron?

Yes - my lot went to Sandhurst display en masse - I stayed home with daughter's dog who managed to squeeze herself into a tiny corner - not bad for a greyhound.

My daughter (staying with us whilst their extension finished plus dog and kids and husband) has gone to town on our house to try and entice the trick treaters down the drive to our front door - they love it. I will be out.

[Bigron]

Just going by my own experiences, sadly!

We didn’t get as many as usual which means I’ve got loads of choccies to eat 

[Varche]

Well i have just got back from my first ever Halloween party at my nephews. Really really enjoyed it. Eight adults two children. We all got dressed up. They had gone to quite a bit of trouble. The doorbell went. Out with bowl of sweets .visiting kids were with parents .all had made an effort. No tricks all evening.we ran out of sweets andhad finished eating so went out to recoup some! Got to say everyone that was obviously participating ( house dressed, got pumpkin lanterns outside etc) were most welcoming.

Changed my view a lot.

I’ve got mini mars bars, milky ways, maltesers, magic stars, twix and skittles. Don’t like the skittles, so you can have them. 

[Kevin Wood]

Bought loads of sweets but forgot the pumpkin so only one lot turned up. Hmm. What to do with all these sweets?.. Om Nom Nom

[Bigron]

I am diabetic, and mustn't have sweets, so if I can't.....

Ron.

[aaronjb]

We were out for most of the night, so I only had to answer the door to one lot.. one boy and two girls, late teens, dressed up, short skirts (the girls, not the lad). I didn't mind that too much

Sadly had to give them chocolate from our stash as we hadn't bought anything and I'm only allowed one treat sized bag of buttons a day now, so I kinda begrudge that! </grinch> (Still, I've lost nearly 6st since February, so I guess laying off the choccies is a good thing.. and the kebabs.. fish & chips.. anything cooked in oil.. fat.. you know, all the tasty stuff)

With all the salad piled on top, surely a kebab must be healthy 

[aaronjb]

 

In all seriousness a grilled chicken kebab wouldn't be too bad - if it weren't for the garlic sauce, bread, the chips that sometimes slip in with it..

[Bigron]

The trouble is, calories taste so nice!

Had to go out last night to our eldests parents evening at his college to see 2 of his tutors, left a sign on the front (locked) gate to say we dont want trick or treat and it seemed they obeyed.... Might have been the fact they couldn't gain access to our front door and no lights on that might have stopped them too LOL

Halloween is getting bigger and bigger every year, as has been said, another imported tradition - we'll be celebrating 4th of July next...... my oppsing arse we will too.... even though a very large clothing chain tried a 4th July special offer a couple of years ago and got shot down very quickly when they got reminded what 4th July actually means to the Yanks...

That's impressive !      I need to do something similar 

[Sir Tigger KC]

I live on a steep hill and it seems that the little scrotes couldn't be bothered to climb it, so it was nice and quiet here last night! 

Black Friday soon!  Another imported tradition from across the pond.

Well, pretty soon we'll have Thanksgiving, whole deep fried turkey, "Happy Holidays" instead of Christmas, and maybe even Donald Trump !   

[STEMO]

Thing is...none of these things are compulsory. It seems moaning about them is, though.

There is a system in the village of Webs end, where if you have a pumpkin at the front of your house the trick or treaters will knock your door. If you don't, they wont.
Needless to say the Mig household doesn't display a pumpkin.

Has worked for us over the years. When SWMBO was having her cancer treatment they left us alone. The last few years have been great fun. It,s the only time some of the neighbours speak.

You don't live in the north. You shouldn't be speaking to your neighbours. 
The video below shows just what can happen once you start talking to them.
