This article clearly states that ''Trick or Treat'' has evolved from ''guising'' which was practised in England in the 18th century and was taken to the US in the 19th century.

Phew, I'm glad I've got that off my chest!

It clearly states it, but that doesn't mean it's correct

It was horrendous.It was a real nightmare.the hotel had not warned us.as an apology they threw a mini party for us the following night in the rooms that had been occupied by Lombard and Gable before they were married.

Thumbs down The Downside...........
Just as a 'Post Script' to all this, our local newspaper, The Welwyn-Hatfield Times, today published the facts of Halloween this year in the Borough............

In 3 hours on Halloween night 645 calls were made to the Police about anti-social Yoof. 258 of the calls went direct to 999!

In the 24 hour period, 1,786 calls were made. 50% above a normal day.

So while little kids do enjoy it, for a lot of other people it's just a nightmare!
.....You couldn't hear it, if they were shooting at me with howitzers!
