Trick or Treat - Harmless Fun or Begging with Menaces?

[sphericalfox]

They are magic starts, not lucky stars.

# pedantry

stars*

pedantry fail!

[Corky]

Oh dear

[The Doctor]

Proper magic stars had faces, those were the days.

One of my mates house-mates gave out money because he had no sweets and felt bad - What happened to telling people to piss off?

What happened to telling people to piss off?

The criminal damage that follows on your house.

Load of utter shlt, only open the door to my Canadian neighbour's kids as they are all nice and would happily give if I was a kid. Don't get Halloween though, bit of a waste of time IMO

[Trav Le Bleu]

An absolute ****ing nuisance, don't get too many around here but it's a right annoyance to have to stop the staff from their work, such that my Château Margaux will be more than a degree off room temperature and my 16oz ribeye steak will be very nearly medium-rare! Just so they can stop work to answer the door to feed lackaday gutter urchins.

Pathetic.

[Guest MattP]

lol

Actually only had two the whole night so it didn't end too bad.

They were 12, I doubt they could do that much.

So, two years on, what are FT's views on the Halloween twatfest now?

[Fox92]

Same as what I said in the other thread. Still don't like it. It's like built as a major event for some reason in our Country now. It's an American thing essentially.

 

That's all I'll say. Don't want to upset people by commenting on an old thread. Apparently even though this is a forum views can't be balanced.

[Brenfox]

Mine are the same I still detest the whole begging fest, however after getting nagged by the kids I'll reluctantly be taking them this year.

[Unabomber]

Might get some tangfastics for any spastics who knock on me door tomorrow.

[AoWW]

Can't stand it.

Nope. Get some megasours from Ye Olde Sweet Shop near St Martin's Square. 

 

They won't come around begging next year!

[Corky]

Commericalised, Americanised bullshit.

 

My Mom agrees with that sentiment

[Charl91]

It is commercialised, Americanised bullshit. On the other hand, the kids all really love it, and I loved it when I was a kid.

 

So yeah, I'm all for it.

[Unabomber]

My Mom agrees with that sentiment

So does my dud

Still shit, but should make for a good night on the town with it being Friday. 

[The Doctor]

Trick or treat can **** off, but halloween is fine - costume parties are usually decent fun.

I agree - if you're 10.

[Stadt]

 I'm not fussed either way.

[Raj]

Load of yankee crap...But the kids love it so i'll be taking them out knocking the doors around our turf....only cos i know some of the MILFY mums so it aint all bad!!

[Freesolo]

We used to get loads of Kid's knocking the door 20 or so i would just leave it with the missus she didn't seem to mind, just some harmless fun once a year but over the years its died down and now might get 2 or 3 kids coming round on Halloween, the missus still buys sweets but i always end up eating them at the end of the night.

 

I think Parents are a lot more protective these days when i was a kid i used to go out with a few mates on our own dressed up and see 100s of kids about

[Raj]

Defo more concious of things nowadays as we never seem to get kids on their won...theres always an adult lurking around with them!!

You should answer the door in a Jimmy Saville costume, that'll get rid of the little fvckers.

Edit, Bilo made the same joke in the first post.
