The whole trick or treat thing is bizarre, another imported & unwanted tradition, the only winners are the shops who sell the costumes and sweets. -
Leon recently fixed ongoing issues we’ve had with our lighting circuit and switches in the kitchen. He was very responsive and came back multiple times until we had a good working solution. Thank you and highly recommend! -
To me, it’s bizarre to go to streets and ring strangers’ doorbells purely for the reason of getting free sweets. There needs to be some interchange with the people who are giving you sweets, they are supposed to vaguely recognise you even though you are costumed and say how great you look which hopefully you do. The trick or treaters should know who you are. I’ve heard too many older bratty children (age 10 plus+) walking the streets round here and audibly saying how great it is to be given free stuff while not even wearing a costume. The tiny children are the only ones I’d have any time for now. I lived in North America for a while as a child and we only went round our local streets and rang the doorbells of people we knew. When I was too old to trick or treat , it was fun to hand out the treats while seeing kids you knew, younger brothers and sisters of your school friends, and who had spent time and effort organising their costumes. Some of our neighbours with garages organised bobbing for apples and had hot mulled non alcoholic cider and donuts for both children and the grownups. -

I am all for residents clearing leaves, see my earlier post. But most won't. A few of us do. Do you?
