KIDS ARE WELCOME TO TRICK OR TREAT HERE IF THEY HAVE MADE AN EFFORT WITH THEIR COSTUMES.
IF, HOWEVER, YOU ARE A BUNCH OF TEENAGERS IN TRACKSUITS WITH ONE RUBBER SKELETON MASK BETWEEN FOUR OF YOU, DON'T BLOODY BOTHER.
THANK YOU.
Bit of a bugbear I suppose, but when I were a kid we used to make a proper effort (well, our parents did), spend ages on our very own Flibbertigibbet outfit, construct our own dolmen to commune with the spirits of Samhain*, chop our own heads off, things like that, I used to love nostalgia, etc...
* Please note: If you use a different spelling of this word, one that you feel more accurately expresses an ancient celtic tongue, good for you. However, please don't lecture me on using the spelling I chose. I know there are different spellings and that some experts don't like the one that seems to be the spelling opted on by the gestalt. That's cool, but can I just use the spelling most people use so that there might be a vague chance someone might get what I'm on about? Ta.
