Trick or Treat?

[Wacky Racer]

Well we are coming up to that dreaded time of year when all the local young tearaways will be ringing my doorbell every two minutes whilst I am trying to watch Coronation Street, with their stupid Trick or Treat game. (what they really mean is give us 50p and we will make sure your car doesn't get scratched!!!)

Has anybody got any tips how to see these hoodlums off, I usually put a notice over the bell saying "Please do not ring or knock, baby asleep upstairs", but I think they are starting to get wise to me after 25 years.......

I really don't know how to handle this.

I used to be well up for it - sweets for the kids and putting decorations around the house but its gradually getting worse. First the kids stopped dressing up, then they started saying we'd rather have money...

2 years back I offerred these 2 lads (about 10-12 yrs) a hand full of sweets (they were dressed up) and 1 piped up "could we have money instead?" I asked why and he replied "me mam says not to come home without enough for a packet o' Bensons - and we're 2 quid short"

Now I close the curtains and pretend not to be in.

If you dont like the neighbours pin a notice saying

"We entertaining left the treat at No XX"

Give me money so I can burn some old clothes stuffed with Newpaper.

Knob heads knocked my door bell off the wall last year because I didn't pay up. And egged the house and cars.

This year I will mostly be hiding upstairs with a bucket of evil scum, ready to eject out the window of doom on the ickle gob sh....whatsits.

3 Springers see that they dont bother me

I think there might be a marked decrease in little kids doing it because of all the paedo-panic that's around at the moment.

Anyone got a stash of those old fivers that aren't legal tender as of about june?

How's a cricket bat going to stop them????

A nice " No trick or treat...thank you" sign usually works.
Failing that, a large violent firework rammed down the front of their bags does the trick....but dont forget to light it first.

Just go out or release the hounds.

Failing that turning off your lights, disabling your doorbell, removing the knocker and putting a sign saying "wet paint" on the door might work.

Report 'em to the OB for demanding money with menaces. Report the parents too for letting them do it.

Wire your doorbell up to the mains and then when they ring say "trick".
