Is it just me or is there something, well, wrong? As a child I was always told, as were all my friends, not to talk to strangers or accept sweets from strangers. Then halloween happens and it’s like an alternate reality.
Suddenly, you’re encouraged to talk to strangers. Hell, you’re even encouraged to go to them as oppose to them finding you. At night. In a costume. You’re also allowed to take sweets from strangers while your parents, the very people who warn you about this sort of thing, stand and observe.
So this year, if they knock on my door they can just stand there – I don’t care if it is raining. I have principles and morals which I intend to uphold. And just to show that I’m not uncaring, I’ll probably leave a bag of sweets where they can see them just so they know that I am entering into the spirit of things as oppose to just ignoring them completely.
called ata supermarket today theyre even seling begging buckets to the sticky little trolls to scare ole ladies into paying up.
dont let your kids go begging cos thats exactly what it is, unless they are 3 to 9 yrs old an you go with them to houses you know.
perverts love haloween, carol singers,penny 4 the guy, anything that gives them contact with little ones. they dont have to get hold of them. they bash one off thinking about them dressed up in their lill costumes.dont give em chance to use your lill ones image to do it. :evil:
haloween… another american import from the wall mart company.We have an “arrangement” in our row.
Now, my eldest is nearly 14 and not interested atall………….. until the day :wink:
We accompany our kids to each other’s houses for a quick handful of pick and mix.
Never any money, flour bomb or threat insite.
This is at 6 to 7 pm.
After that doors are firmly locked. Thats where spyholes come in handy!
(then you always get one ickle teeny weeny witch no bigger than two foot knock and have to open the door so she has a good memory of trick or treat). :wink:

He has nee idea what a narkie is ffs. Has no knowledge of carving out a spherical object, making it light up, scaring ‘the witches of halloween owwooh’. Let’s not bloody lose site of that ffs.
