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!

    • That's very special ♥️
    • @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit
    • I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.  
    • Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
