Trick or Treaters just knocked on my door

had 38 and counting

I might amuse myself next year and open the door holding an axe

give,em a few heroes or haribo,s ,worth it for the look on their face when there expecting 50p or a knicker priceless

I live in a small village and here we have a villagers association which organises various things throughout the year. For Halloween they have a leaflet they give out to all the properties in the village. There is a big picture of a pumpkin with the message "TRICK OR TREATERS WELCOME" in large writing. So if you are happy to get trick or Treaters you put this in your windowt

Simple but effective and it avoids many people, especially some of the elderly, being bothered by the trick or treaters as the youngsters ere look out for these leaflets being displayed. It is a pity this is not done on a much wider scale.

Their  mothers go round with them these days. The mothers stand by the gate and send the kids to knock on the doors.

I always say ''go and fetch your mother, and I'll give her a treat.''

you have to admire Facts at this time of year, even if they get over the wall the nurses always apprehend them on the secure wing before they can knock on his door.

Each year I make sure I have buckets of sweets in the house ready for trick or treat.
It's nott that I'm generous, but I'm the local dentist, and I know they'll pay me back tenfold in a few years.

Dentists looking for future clients, Doctors offering to service their mothers, postmen switching off all the lights, barons scaring them with saville masks and 1st time posters taking a shot gun out, what a lovely, joyful bunch we all are

Just getting some practice in ready for the season of goodwill.

My mouse battery is getting low in power. Misprints in my post above as windowt should be window. and ere should be here

They chew the batteries up i used to have one and had to change weekly.Get the old wire back it saves hassle

Did they look like kids or grown adults

Apparently, at Lily Allen's house trick or treaters get a miniature vodka and a packet of Benson & Hedges.

blimey Poker got her address? I'm sure she will believe I'm between 8 - 17 yrs old.

I spent a score on kit kats, curly wurlys, haribous etc, hardly got anything left. Two more knocks and I'll be forced to close shop.

Yes I'm good thanks B-B, I got back from Portugal with the missus this afternoon. The resort was excellent and we were so lucky with the weather, 24C-27C everyday. We had seafood pretty much every evening that had been caught the same day, so feel suitably chilled out.I hope all is well with you mate.

miserable old buggers on here 

I think you have to light a pumpkin or similar  to let the ToT's know  you are open for business

My mate's father didn't like people knocking at the door either. 
He always threatened to take a shovel of red hot coals from the hearth, and throw it over unwelcome people who came knocking on their door.
Trick or treat, carol singers and suchlike.

He never actual saw him do this, but it would certainly have been interesting to watch if he had.
Of course in those days they all had open fires for home heating. So we haven't got the option to do that now

My mates own remedy for unwelcome people who come knocking, is to hot up some penny coins on the hob and push them under the front door.
He says that usually conveys the right message when they attempt to pick them up.

He's a chip off the old block is my mate.

I dont mind the trick or treaters, hell I used to do it, sadly tho they all seem to have disappeared from my area, have had 1 knock on the door!!
