There's gotta be a blood sucking vampires joke in there somewhere but frankly I can't be arsed to find it...

[ToraToraTora]

all hallows eve is a US "celebration" not sure why we "celebrate" it at all.

[ummmm]

I think you're wrong about that TTT.

[scooping]

All Hallows Eve is British!

anne widdecombe will probably dance the night away with michael howard

Perhaps they go around trick or treating on each other, but wearing Nigel masks, rather than the normal fright ones.....I can't think of anyone that
scares them more than Nige at the moment..except perhaps Boris ?

[ToraToraTora]

yes it is British in origin, like most things, but to make a song and dance about it in the last century or so is an entirely American pastime.

[mikey4444]

Very true TTT. I can never remember the shops being packed with all this American but Chinese made plastic crap much before the late to mid -80's.

At this time of year when I was a lad, it was all about conkers, building bonfires and looking forward to Firework night. Why do we have to ape everything American all the time ? Isn't it enough that they have hi-jacked our language :-)

[Farriercm]

TTT, Why don,t you just admit for once that you were wrong,when ummmm,
Corrected you, instead of trying to weadle your way out of it, with you reply at 11.34----------WAP.
