Halloween and Guy Fawkes should be banned. What does it signify ?Just an opportunity to scare the vulnerable by knocking on their doors with your painted faces suggesting a trick or treat and the fifth of November frequently causing injuries from fireworks and the distress to defenceless animals by the bangs that go off from the moment it becomes dark.

Re your message sarahellenwhitney here where I live we put out a pumpkin ( real or plastic) or other Halloween decorations if we are happy to have Trick or Treaters call. No one calls at a house that doesn't have these on show so no problem for elderly or vulnerable. I have no answer to the problem with fireworks going off at all times over the October / November period other than they shouldn't be sold to anyone other than organisers of proper licensed displays.

Aw is that the ending I'm sure we could go on longer.....
After tea Susi got out her knitting, tucking it carefully into the folds of her cardigan, hoping her visitor wouldn't notice the dark splashes of blood.
"I hope you don't mind me asking," she said, "but would you tell me the name of your dentist, please, your teeth are so white".

I fear I was a little too heavy-handed with the make-up this morning but I wanted to impress and eager to get on my broomstick. winkgrinthlgrin
