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.

    • Plenty for sale online from various ticket vendors but you'll need to part with £250 and upwards by the looks of it. Out of interest i kept an eye on the prices for the England and Italy Euro final. At one point they were on offer for a couple of grand each. On the day sellers were obviously getting itchy feet and prices dropped somewhat but never went any lower than £400. That was a few hours before kick off. There was plenty still available half an hour before kick off.   Having been to Wembley a couple of times for play off finals i found it to be not a great place to watch football. Sat three rows back from the pitch side advertising hoardings for one game and way way up in the gods for the other. We felt to far away from the pitch on both occasions. Up in the goods was just stupid because we felt cut off as well.  I don't think it was rebuilt with acoustics in mind either. Even with most of our 25k fans singing it never sounded loud because it's pretty much uncovered and too open.   Happy hunting!
    • It doesn't work as a commercial venture.  Bit churlish to say I told you so.  I told you so.  I'll send less greetings cards.  What pees me off is international postage where you can no longer send light letters at 10 grammes, normal ones up to 20g, now all at the much more expensive 100 g  Didn't we vote to take back control and price everything according to irrational units like ounces? That's some obscure humour btw   
    • Available from Monday April 8th 2024, 2on2Walkies take pride in doggie care and only walk 2 furry friends at a time. I make sure that they get plenty of doggie interaction and socialisation in the park as well as making friends. Back home happy and tired I always check that the water bowl has fresh water and always make sure the doggie is left comfortable before I leave. I'm fully insured and have a couple of slots available for local walks to either Peckham Rye Park or Dulwich Park.  Thank you!  
    • Why would they only send them recorded delivery? I used the signed for option yesterday.
