Happy Halloween

Somebody will be pleased he's back.

Oct 31st, Halloween - 3 knocks on the door.
1st = next door's kid and his Mum!
2nd - 6-8 kids
3rd - 8+ kids and the last (and oldest at around 12'ish!) one didn't even say "Thanks" :-doh

So, only 3 "lots", whereas, a few years ago, you could have doubled/tripled that number:-doh

"Halloween" seems "nearly dead" in the UK, or at least here!:-rofl2
 
I fell asleep around 6pm, so, I've no idea if anyone cam knocking, not that I'd have bothered with answering anyway... :-rofl2
 
Seeing as it's that time again.

COME ON! Otherwise you not quite the "nice person" for which we would hope! :(

For us, it's quite nice/"amusing" to have the neighbours' kids in (frankly ridiculous!) kit knocking on the door and doing the "trick or treat" stuff for a few chocs, and so on, in return :D
 
I think I'll keep the chainsaw by the door, certainly a good trick to chase them down the street like one of them horror movie loons... :lol:

Not that anyone does come knocking, cos people round here are smart it seems........

If your area is like ours then I doubt you'll need the chainsaw!

A few years ago we would get 12-15 "visitors" over the 2-3 days upto and including Haloween, then it gradually declined so that last year we had only 4-5 on the night itself - but, tonight, we've had only one group (about 2 hrs ago) so far and are unlikely to get any more (so, probably none at all next year) :(.

On the bright side, we always get a tub of HEROS (which we like:D ) ready for the "visitors" - and so we won't need to buy any more before Xmas :D

I went to tesco earlier this evening and to be honest, I could have taken my chainsaw given how many zombies were there, and that was just the staff working there... :-rofl2
 
If it is not on their I Pad then it does not exist :)
Due to this lack of activity some of the younger generation will loose the use of all limbs except the index finger :rolleyes:
No trick or treat here for the last decade :-rofl2

OTOH, an hours or so ago, we had a couple more unexpected knocks on the doors (actually the bell was wrung!) from "visitors" - young though they were, it was good to see them - and we had a few laughs with their "minders" (parents!):D, although I doubt that the kids understood/ appreciated my comments that they should have been in bed by then (none were more than about seven, and it was nearly 9pm :rolleyes:)
 
Wrung ?

Wringing necks perhaps....
