    That's a pity jjordie, most of the kids that go around our area are dressed up and tell you a joke or sing a song.We usually have some sweets for them, but I have to admit it can be a bit annoying after a while, but I try to remember that I done the same thing when I was a lass [​IMG]

    Used to have sweets and choc bars for the kids but when in the last couple of years you get perhaps 6 or 8 at a time bang on the door and ASK for something and they say 'cor is that ALL?' does put you off a bit. Didn't used to do this Halloween thing when we were young because there weren't the sweets etc available to give.


    :eek:

    I just got a lollypop from some kids on my doorstep offering me a trick or a treat, I'm not a fan of conjuring so the choice was easy. ;)
