General Chat

Years ago when I was much younger a friend took us trick or treating on the US airbase at Mildenhall in Suffolk. The deal was quite simple - all the houses who had their porch lights on would accept trick-or-treaters, and those whose front light was in darkness were to be left well alone. We could do with adopting a system like that here!

Yes, we always have a few sweets/cakes left over from my youngest daughters birthday on 28th. Along our road those wanting to join in put decorations in their windows - the local children know that a dark house means dont call. The local police also give out posters and stickers for your front door and windows if you dont want to be bothered. We enjoy seeing the lovely costumes some of the children make/wear - i always think Trick or Treat in our area is a community occassion, part of living in a village i suppose. Elaine x.

yes ive got all my sweeties ready,i love to see the little ones dressed up,xx joy

Yes, and taking my darlings out trick or treating too. Good idea about the note. That's what folk do round here too. We only knock on the doors which we know the children will be welcome at - not fair on people to knock randomly at their doors. Daisy

A nope from me too. We close the curtains, switch off the TV and sit in the dark all night. We don't mind the really young children who come round with their parents early on in the evening, but when the older more thuggish lot start knocking at the doors, most of them not even dressed up and still demanding a 'treat' we ignore them.

Yes, I got my 'Soul cakes' at the ready.

NO! but then we don't get them anyway, you can't get up our drive cos of the cars! LOL Julie xxx
