up here we used to go guising (guy-zing) which was a bit like trick or treat except you had to tell a funny story or joke or sing a song to get some cash or sweets. Not just turn up at the door and ask for cash.

Kids still do that up here too.

Just found my chainsaw, an old black jumpsuit and a suitably odd mask... might play tricks on the trick or treaters... see how they like it...

I had a similar thought. Want to sit in a chair in a dark corner of my garden. When the kids come, scare the **** out of em ! Knowing my luck it will prob be some hard teenagers !!

We used to make a big thing of going guysing / guising, dont know spelling, everyone spent ages making really good costumes and everyone did a joke or a funny poem etc. Looked forward to it all year. Most people took you into the house and did dunking for apples or toffee apples hanging on a string, whatever that game was called, or some other fun activity. Nowadays its just pants. Throw on a mask and tell a crap joke or just stand there with a sack held open waiting for a treat.

Bah humbug. Bring back the good old days. As it is i'll be lying on the floor with the TV and lights off and a sign saying small baby sleeping so dont ring the bell. If this fails i will don my jimmy saville outfit and answer the door.

Trick or treating.....aaarrrrggggghhhhhhh. Its bloody guysing. Next we will be celebrating thanksgiving.

It's another Americanism that can do one. I never went trick or treating because I was brought up that if I wanted something I worked and saved for it and bought things with my own money, rather than beg others for it. We always take all the cars and go up my Grandparents. Miles from anyone so all the cars are safe from any inbreds who fancy throwing eggs at them.

Get a tub of quality street out that one of your tight relatives bought you last Christmas.

Eat the ones you like.

Give the others to trick or treaters.

After two years they stopped coming round...

I went out and did £8 on snack size choccy bars today.

Bottom line is, I'd rather buy a few choccy bars than clean eggs off my wifes

car in the rain. It's peed down here most of the evening so

we've only had a few. And now I have a big stash of lovely choccy :p
