Hey! It?s 27 Oglander road here ( the famous house on halloween!) I?ve been decorating the house every year for the past 8 years and it?s been a huge success every time! I?ve been wondering whether there?ll be any trick or treating this year due to COVID? I?ll still be decorating the house as usual, but I?m wondering whether trick or treating will be going on as usual, so I know whether to buy sweets, as usually I have over 150 children trick or treating. What do you guys think?

people I know decorating houses so that kids can go out and walk round the neighbourhood looking for spooky decorations, but no trick or treating. The idea is that parents give out sweets to their own kids- eg every time they see a bat/ monster whatever you pick then you hand out a sweet or give them once you get back.


Hopefully this way kids can enjoy Halloween safely outdoors but without knocking on doors and neighbours can enjoy decorating for it!

Whish is why the treasure hunt thing works well - go and look for decorated houses - only those who want to decorate do it and then give the sweets you buy to your own kids rather than loads of different ones. Different but still fun and no masses of kids arriving en masse
I would like to bag up sweets and leave them to collect, rather than my usual grubby fingered bowls of sweeties. We will bag them with proper PPE stuff worn. Is that an OK idea? The pathos of a little kid taken round after 9 pm, when most sweets have gone, by late to home working parents, has always broken my heart. This year it is a generation, how can we make it fun for them. I'm saying this as a 56 yr old grumpy bloke who thinks Halloween is American bollocks, but won't anyone think of the children?
Walked down Melbourne Grove to Grove Vale yesterday and was intrigued by nets in trees and mock gravestones tied to trees with 'Be very afraid' and other comments. After seeing this several times realized that many of the houses and gardens were decorated with pumpkins and other Halloween items. So assume that these local residents were indicating that they were up for trick and treating.

Or a rye comment on the LTNs 😆

Saw this on twitter




No to trick or treating, but yes to a spooky walk and giving sweets to your own kids!

    • According to what I can see online, Dynamic Vines and Cave de Bruno sell totally different kinds of wine to each other.  Dynamic Vines  "work with independent winemakers who produce outstanding wine using sustainable practices in the vineyard and minimal intervention in the cellar".  Cave de Bruno specialises in French wines and spirits from small independent producers. So two different USPs, and no doubt two different but overlapping customer bases who can afford these wines. Probably different again to the people mainly  shopping for wine at Majestic or the Co op. On the other hand, the two empanada shops appear on the face of it to be selling virtually identical products. But time will tell, won't it? Let's see how they are both doing in - say - a couple of years' time. Impossible, of course, to compare that with how they would have done if there had been only one of them. I just feel more  sorry for the original one than for  the one which can apparently already afford to have a number of shops in places like Mayfair and Highgate. I'm tempted to buy something there every week, and I don't even like that kind of pastry 🤣
    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. These Argentinian cornish pasties are clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
