Vince Green Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Round our way the trick or treat kids are getting out of hand. They go round in gangs and want money, forget a few sweets. If you don't cough up they throw eggs at your windows. I have now perfected a technique for keeping them away. It works like a charm. No knocks on the door at all last year. What you do is get an old pair of wellies and paint them silver. then leave them casually by the front door like you have kicked them off as you went in. The little blighters won't knock if they think Gary Glitter lives there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Mule Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 Invite them saying you want to talk to them about becoming a Mormon / Jesus / God / Mohammed / any diety of your choice. Alternatively get down to Tesco, they are doing eggs for silly prices these days. An eye for an eye and all that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baldrick Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 stick a hose pipe in the letter box when they knock just turn the tap on any luck the mother in law may visit It would be much more amusing if it was a pressure washer. Or a water cannon such as those used to disperse peasants and soap-dodgers at riots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RhiannonBW Posted October 20, 2009 Report Share Posted October 20, 2009 I love to see the disappointed look on trick or treaters faces when they get a small Kit-Kat and some penny chews and a look that dares them to ask for money! A couple of years ago two of the local 'yoofs' turned up at Christmas, sang one line of 'We Wish you a Merry Christmas' and stood there expectantly with their hands out. I told them if they could learn the whole song then they would get some money for proper carol singing. Two days later three of them turned up with a whole song and dance routine to 'Jingle Bells' - more than happy to give them some money for the entertainment and initiative shown.
