Trick or Treat
Right, officially had enough, that was the tenth set of small witches, got in having been in work from 7.30 to 5.30 (busy as well), tea was ready so I sat down and had to get up 5 times, starving as well.
I suppose its good fun, some of the mummy's are nice as well, perhaps I should ask them what kind of treat I can offer them or say I bet they have turned a few tricks in their time.

I think you will find I was joking, its called humour, you ought to try it occasionally, its fun !!
Besides, the kids are all to intent on the big plate of sweets.

I'm with Phil on this one. Sadly I'm sure that under the present government, wiring the door knocker to the mains would be frowned upon 
I usually use Hallowe'en as an excuse to go out for the whole evening.

Yes, maybe but there are certain parameters of decency to which most men including me abide, the rest are called perverts and go to prison. I was concerned for their safety rather than being lecherous, I just struck me as strange that girls of that age would bother with trick or treat and be allowed out dressed in what could be considered a provocative way (especially to the average pervert). I generally have a sense of humour regarding most matters but this isnt really one to joke about, making suggestive remarks about 30 odd year old women is one thing but teenage girls is just a bit sick.

I've been in on my own all night, (wife's at school Hallowe'en disco), and have dished out sweets to 5 sets of witches so far
Age range from about 5 to around 13, I do sometimes fear for the little ones. I always wish them goodnight and tell 'em to take care.

I am 24 and have a wee boy of 6, i had him out round the neighbours, at least he did something for his sweets, told a joke or did a silly song. The 4 groups of "Strangers" I had just knocked the door and held out their hands, not even a hello!!! typical of younger ones these days just expecting things on a plate without a please or thankyou!! pisses me off!!
