Which day & what time is trick or treating?

[civilservant]

Garymax, it took us a couple of years to work out the code too!

Our first year in ED, my daughter was too small to go trick or treating, but she was old enough to be excited at the thought of handing out sweets to other kids.

But being unfamiliar with current Halloween customs, we didn't have a pumpkin outside and no one rang the bell.

Cue one very disappointed child who wasn't mollified even by the thought that she could eat all the sweets herself!

Anyone got a youngster who would like to go trick or treating but doesnt have anyone to go with . I have so they could meet up. Please PM me.

Just been cleaned out by Dracula and his buddies - I offered the posse a jar with sweets in and some wrapped choc-biscuits little hands darted in and out with the expertise of Rio pick-pockets and left 'promising' to share everything equally. Happy Halloween!

We had lots of really SUPER POLITE middle class trick or treaters this year from about 5.30-8pm (which seems to be the unofficial curfew). They would only take one sweet despite us urging them otherwise. As a result we now have a dangerous chocolate surplus looking for a home.

The first lot of trick-or-treaters nearly gave me a heart attack... for some reason I was 100% sure it was my wife at the door. Anyway, after they'd finished laughing at me (fair enough really), I gave them some cakes, and they were very polite and well-behaved.

Didn't see any little scrotes around at all, although there were a few smashed-up pumpkins along Fenwick Rd.

Did anyone go for the 'trick'?
