Did you answer your door last night (Halloween)?

So - it was Halloween last night. Do you live somewhere where they were all banging on your door for candy and money? (I assume they actually do that in this country?)
First time in 6 years I've lived in a house in a residential neighbourhood. But definitely don't want to deal with begging children.
What's it like where you live and did you answer the door?

yeah I dont mind answering door, its all over by 7pm now-a-days anyway as its only ther little kids with parents, I think the big kids think they are too cool for school now
This is yet another thing that has come over here from the USA. The only significant thing about Hallo'een when I was a kid was it meant there were only six days 'til bonfire night.

totally agree - its a nasty tacky American commercialised habit - trick or treat has sweet FA to do with Halloween - its a socially acceptable form of begging now is it?

exactly - trick or treaters could be al qaeda terrorists in disguise. If they ask you to post anything for them, just say no....
Nothing wrong with adopting a bit of American culture said the young boy at the door

I know what you’re thinking: “Did he fire six shots, or only five?” Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I’ve kinda lost track myself. But being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off, you’ve got to ask yourself one question: “Do I feel lucky?” Well do ya, punk?

The way I figure it is it is the under tens that come knocking and if I have a good relationship with them (as we don't have kids) then we will get on better when they are teenagers.
Only thing was I went to get the bag of sweets to put in a bowl ready and found Mrs Hrun has eaten 1/2 of them :d.
They said, "OK" and went. Mind you, nice area, mine

£6 is better than saying no...
All the kids here have parents in tow, and make the effort to dress up.
Greedy fellas though, I've had 5 hands in the bowl at once. Patience, children!
Firstly we encourage young kids to threaten a "trick or treat" gangster style extortion on people living in their own homes (wait until they're 15 it really does get menacing!)
We also spend all year telling our children not to speak to strangers or accept sweets, but on this one dark night we say "OK go to strange people houses and talk and accept from them."
A few years ago, my mate living in a rough area of Newcastle had a knock on the door from a group of men asking for beer or a trick (ie smashed car window). He gave over £2 instead. My mate watched out of the window as they knocked on a few houses. Mmm, what would you do?

That more or less sums up what's wrong with it imo.
Same here. Think yourself lucky you are not in Orkney. You might be missing a gate or two - or maybe minus a bike or some windscreen wipers.
It seems one or two folk in this thread are practising for the part of Scrooge.
Plus they don't deserve it, they're little sh#ts round here (Gorton, Manchester).
