    I've had 5 sets here. Bought some lollies to give out earlier.

    I don't agree with it, and never did it myself but I just thought why not. I'd not have given to anyone older than about ten and I wouldn't give money.

    At least they all said thank you, and I even got a "Happy Halloween" off one kid! Bizarre.

Seriously, i dont mind thm knocking whn its young kids 5-6 old who have spent ages getting ready out with their mums and dads being kids. What i do objct to is the spoilt little ***** who get arsey becuase you've given them sweets ratrher than a skin diver or the 13-14+ year olds who've brought a cheap scream mask from tesco's demanding money for 'dressing up'.

    Agreed (Y) (Y)

    Only, round my way, I'm sure I saw some kids who were older, maybe 15/16!

    E numbers send my six year old son hyper

    he doesn't eat lots of sweets and the few he's got tonight will probably last him until xmas,

    but sweets lately have far less e numbers in than so called normal foods e.g.

    cereals - cherio's
    margarine,
    cheese

    all contain an additive called anatto which is one of the worst for hyperactivity and very rarely found in sweets

    still tonight wasn't about begging or stuffing themselves with sweets it was about them enoying themselves

    Over here they were really sweet

    Most of them about 4 to 8 years old, parents hovering in the background, singing badly rehearsed songs or reciting ryhmes. Never a hint of the "begging" feeling and certainly no teenagers with turnips on their heads. All over by 7.30pm and was quite fun really.

    RE: Over here they were really sweet

    I'm probably over reacting - the kids enjoy it - I just find it cringeworthy, and it brings out the worst in my normally polite kids. They are alot nicer/ more appreciative at Christmas.

    Kids will do anything

    For a packet of crisps and some fruit pastilles.

    Having met your kids I'm sure you are right. Happy tin and/or aluminium.

    We've got this sussed.

    A family member recently died. Instead of the run of the mill funeral arrangement, we had David stuffed. He's currently lying in the hall with blood smeared on his face and a knife in his heart.

    We have rigged up a rope to the front door latch from inside and when the kids come a knocking, my missus yanks the rope, releasing the door catch and opening it wide so the kids get a proper Halloween treat !

    all good fun.
