jonthefox Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 So what do we reckon is is the cut off age for this then?. Ive just had a group of about 6 lads around all 15/16 or so , with no costumes, nothing. The little kids is fine but that's got to be too old surely?.

Wonder if they are casing out your joint? you know.. no one is in so someone slips round the back whilst the others look out! Or maybe im just getting too suspicious in my old age!
Fox92 Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 14? 15/16 just seems to old for me. I mean you can start work at 16....
Izzy Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 I'd have thought the cut off age should be 11, the age when kids finish primary school. Saying that, I remember trick or treating aged about 13 with a mate, and some old bloke gave us a four pack of beer to share because he didn't have any sweets or chocolate in the house

Did you see them on their way?
Mike Oxlong Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 Too many fat kids with chubby little hands already IMO
Mike Oxlong Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 Just deciding whether to answer the door in my Jimmy Savile mask, shiny gold tracksuit top, underpants and trainers
Unabomber Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 I'm giving out hard boiled eggs in kinder wrappers
Great Boos Up Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 Thirteen. Teenagers. However most kids seem just to knock on the doors with any display. If they look too old I get cynical and think they are now developing criminals so I don't upset them (they know where I live). I just patronisingly give them a lollipop each. "And there's one for you little man".
stripeyfox Posted 31 October 2016 Posted 31 October 2016 10 - 12 Should only knock on doors which have Halloween stuff out (lanterns etc). Leave alone the ones who don't want it. Should be in costume Should be accompanied by a parent

I remember one year there was some kids trick or treating at 10pm at night! they all looked under the age of 10 with no adult!

Jon the Hat Posted 1 November 2016 Posted 1 November 2016 Was all very nice on the new development where i live. Kids only knocking on doors with decorations, all very polite kids, and I hardly saw any over 10, and then only accompanying younger siblings. All with parents. Works for me. Was nice community feel, and no one seemed to be unhappy.

This ticks all the boxes on how it should be. mine were told that after primary school they were no longer able to participate,always in fancy dress with parents and only call on decorated houses. yesterday as we had only just returned from holiday we hadn't had time to decorate,my 13 year old actually carved out some apples and put some candles in and left a bowl with " Help yourself" on the side.Heard a few shouts of " Thankyou" and none of the kids were greedy as there were plenty left.
Nick Posted 1 November 2016 Posted 1 November 2016 I live in the middle of nowhere - with no front door, just a buzzer behind some big electric iron gates surrounded by fields. Peace and tranquility and all that...... Haven't heard any fireworks yet nor seen a trick or treater - yet everybody in the neighbouring villages approx 2-3 miles away have been inundated with activity. (Mostly pleasant) When I lived in the city and some suburbs halloween became more like a night of 'The Purge' where I felt like I had to help protect the property and neighbouring families for the incoming damage, threats and wrath that came each year!
