Well it’s Halloween,who’s ignoring the doorbell?
I am, I always look out of the kitchen or bedroom window before opening the door and will make it known I’m ignoring them. Trick or treaters, carol singers, charity collectors regardless of what they’re collecting for all waste their time at our door. I’m so miserly I put those coin envelopes back out on collection day, empty but if we get those charity chrimbo cards put through which then ask for donations I gratefully use them but send nowt. 
If you have a parcel that’s not got our address on don’t waste your energy walking up our drive.
Talking of halloween I was tempted to hand out raw chocolate coated sprouts or sweets sprinkled in laxatives. 
We aint grumpy,
I switched my door bell off[emoji6]
Used to just ignore it, but I’m a Grandad now so I’ve got to play along.
I’m on my own tonight (Lady V is in St Albans) so I’ve accidentally on purpose brought a bottle of Famous Grouse & a couple of bottles of Henry Westerns Finest Vintage Cider (just for experimenting purposes) so if the kids come knocking they’re
gonna get loads of chocolates &
Goodies.
Perhaps a pair of wellies sprayed in silver paint might make the parents think Gary Glitter’s at home…
Has muckaway got a new identity?

Nope but you’ll see me wearing last years’ poppy though to save money.
I put a wet paint sign on the gate, tied so they would have to undo it to open the gate. Seems to have worked.

Last years■■?
Amateur…
Having said that, I’ve no issue supporting our war hero’s, today’s spoilt brats are another matter…
I don’t go into a bank with a balaclava, a pistol and a bag saying; “Trick or treat!”
Duplication…
I know a few on here have me down as a mean grumpy old bast, but you lot make me look like Santa.
Went out and bought a tin of Celebration sweets for my 3 grandkids ( young for my age btw ) and any other kids who knock at the door. 
You misersble greedy gits

A dish filled with unwrapped Lindt chocs with 1 or 2 scotch bonnet chillis dipped in chocolate till they look about the same works well.
I dont participate in halloween on a point of principle.
Kids come to your house and expect you to give them sweets for nothing. Yet go to a play park and offer them to kids and next thing you know your banned from going within 200 yards of a school.
Double standards
No one came to my door last night. I was very disappointed. I had lots of sweeties and even a cute puppy dog. To get in the mood I watched a few old Jim’ll fix it shows and played my favourite Gary glitter album.

So nobody wanted to be in your gang, then?

Gary Glitter and Michael Jackson were having a quiet night in.
Michael says ‘‘What we doing tonight Gary, I fancy watching an old Disney cartoon film’’
Gary says ‘‘Shall we get Alladin’’
Michael says ‘‘No Gary, I’d rather watch a cartoon film’’
Why?

Jackson had his chimp to play with
