Day Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Buying pumpkins, cutting out faces and sticking them in your window. Setting light to your money to watch it go up in the air, woosh, bang, lights, gone. Have you seen the prices of fireworks? Ridiculous. Kids knocking at your door begging for sweets, kids sat outside shops with stuffed skeletons begging for money. Bring kids up teaching them not to talk to strangers, I remember the school as campaigns, the creepy looking guy in a car with a bag of sweets, not to go with him. Yet this one night of a week you are saying it's acceptable to knock on strangers doors taking sweets them? Oh hello little kid, sure I've got money, walk with me to the cashpoint... Halloween, the most dumbest and dangerous "celebration" of the year. Needs banning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srg Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Been encouraged to dress up to sit in an office today... needless to say I didn't, However, a few have. Some look absolutely ridiculous, especially the manager who's ghost attempt looks more like a Klu Klux Klan member. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I'd blame the Americans for coming up with the idea, but it's our greedy commercial interests that jumped on the chance to bring it over here. Oh well, the usual routine for us, gates locked, spotlights on and CCTV at the ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted October 30, 2015 Author Share Posted October 30, 2015 Putting a sign on my door, go beg elsewhere, we have no sweets just a hungry Jack Russell off his lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
needles Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't mind as much as I used to. The kids tend to come around in groups with a couple of parents keeping tabs and they've clearly made an effort to dress up and have some fun. I'll buy a £5 box of sweets for that. What I don't like, which I used to get but don't seem to now, is scruffy urchins turning up looking like they might just scratch you car if you don't hand over a few quid.

After about 7pm it's the kids who want money rather than sweets & we stop answering the door after about 6.30 for this reason. No problem with the little ones, supervised by parent standning at the bottom of the drive. Just now, Wolfie said: This.

RicME85 Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 I live on a sheltered housing estate with less than 20 bungalows with the average age around 75. Due to this we get none of these little feckers coming to our door. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolfie Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Halloween is seriously big in America. We've been over there twice over halloween & the houses are decorated like it's Christmas. If you think it's bad here now, it'll get a lot more commercialised than it already is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted October 30, 2015 Share Posted October 30, 2015 Let the kids have their fun while they can. I'm sure they grow up to be as miserable as us in the long run. Halloween, Easter Bunny and Santa, kids deserve them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pisses me off how many people buy fireworks and set them off as early as three weeks before bonfire night. Those of us with pets dont need three weeks of keeping our animals calm because a bunch of idiots are happy to literally burn money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StaffsRam Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Yep, lost count of the number of times the kids have been woken up by something that wouldn't have been out of place in the blitz! The only decent part of Halloween - good excuse to break out the horror movies and put the fear of God into the missus for a while - tonight's viewing, Friday the 13th, the original movie. She didn't like it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
