This has happened in every pub i've ever worked in. Unless its 30th, 31st Oct or 1st Nov then they get told to sod off out of the pub. The customers dont like it and its nearly always a scam. When they come to our house they get sweets.

Thats pure cheek. I buy a bag of toffees mixed and empty them into a bowl and when they come knocking on halloween they are allowed to have 2 toffees each. Only if they are at Primary school - at high school tough luck - theyre too old! Also if they come round before then they get nowt and told to come back at halloween. The only time teenagers get the toffees is when they have come round with the kids - and theyre looking after them. Best was last year - i had gone out and left the bowl of toffees on the doorstep with a sign saying only take 2 - when i came back there were still some left in it!!!

Posted last year on the same subject; I don't mind trick or treat, the kids near me always get sweets not money from me and my daughter enjoyed it; maybe she will be too grown up this year ?:confused:

Aaaw bless 'em, that's lovely.

Sometimes they are too scared to come here and take them from Aggie! When we get her out this year I'll take a photo and post it. We've got a house full of witches even when it isn't Hallowe'en. I love therm.

best way , hand out kiddie size toothbrushes , you can get 24 packs at places like costco /price club for a good price , it discourages the kids for the next year , but not one or two cheap parents ;) ;)

I think you are missing the point. Halloween falls on 31st Oct.
It was Sunday the 7th when they came collecting and all the money was given to a adult, who then took them to another pub.

All part of your thread Lancashire Lad .. covered the fact that they were being monitored by an adult, and obviously a scam. Are you saying, therefore, that if it had been the 31st, you may have looked on them a little more kindly ... :confused:

Like i said if they come round before halloween night they dont get nowt - get told to come back on halloween. The rule at my house is primary school kids only - teenagers nowt and no money either its sweets - but wrapped sweets only because any unwrapped sweets could be 'doctored' and i dont want to be accused of anything.
