I like to get into the spirit of things. For those that don't, the police put notices up which can be downloaded and printed off.<br /><br />In Hull we have a lot of Eastern Europeans, and it tends to be them who visit. I have several Eastern Europeans as friends.<br /><br />In Hull our weekend starts on Thursday and goes through until Monday. Therefore, this celebration is not confined only to Halloween's night.<br /><br />Legally demanding money by menace is unlawful, I suppose trick or treat could fall into this category. When I took Rocky for a walk I did not take any sweets with me, and I was approached by a couple of kids. I said I have no money or sweets, I will have to have the trick. One of the kids then showed me a trick, I don't think he got the idea so I got off light.<br /><br />I don't think it is bad of you at all. Nor is it for the kids who are only engaging in a tradition. I like peace and quiet and it is an invasion of this. I think it is a shame when people feel they have to pretend that they are not in to be left in peace. Perhaps, the notice is a good idea. However, like those saying no junk mail they don't always work.jailhouselawyerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03795278184797990706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20662517.post-58012393711353107692011-10-31T23:18:17.652+00:002011-10-31T23:18:17.652+00:00I used to quite like it when the local kids dresse...I used to quite like it when the local kids dressed and knocked on the door, it was fun.<br /><br />Over the years it has changed and I find it a nuisance.<br /><br />Tonight I closed all the doors and left the hallway light off. So that trick or treaters would think there was no-one home.<br /><br />Is that bad of me?<br /><br />I did have a peaceful evening, only one group failed to notice that apparently no one was at home...CherryPiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11788084724907992076noreply@blogger.com
