He's lucky he got that and shouldn't be complaining, if you saw an 11 year old out on the streets begging you would call social services and get him taken away from his parents, yet as part of this commercialisation of an American tradition (trick or treating nor Halloween) you turn a blind eye to him going from door to door begging for "candy" (again an Americanism)


Epic fail Bob in the concept of your thread as you are accepting and trying to gain acceptance to your son being a beggar


How long before he is outside the station asking "any spare change guv for a cup of tea and a heroin fix" ?

In the good "old" days kid's would have made a Guy and asked passers on the street for"penny for the guy". You don't see that any more, in fact I've not seen it for years, shame though as another proper UK tradition fades into the abyss.


Halloween is nothing more than yet another americanised commercial money making scheme brought from the US to here, which the UK has unfortunately copied.


I wonder how many used the pumpkin for food before throwing the carcass out the next day??


Well quite frankly they can keep their so called "tradition" of asking for candy, the less we have to do with the US the better, especially when its run by a clown, who opens his mouth before engaging his brain into gear. Pretty much sums up America though.

Since when did Brits call sweets ?candy?? That?s what I?d like to know. We?ve become such a loser, copy cat, nation of capitalist consumerism. It?s embarrassing. Modern day Halloween can be stuck where the sun doesn?t shine, along with all other cringeworthy Americanism?s we?ve adopted.


Louisa.
