Another sign of advancing years part 94...
I can't remember much of a fuss being made about Halloween when I was younger. But these days it seems to be a big deal, perhaps another sign of the ever-increasing Americanisation of this country.
On Friday night the rain was absolutely persisting down in Edinburgh. As Bryan Ferry once memorably sang 'A Hard Rain's Gonna Fall' - and it did last night. But this didn't stop hordes of kids rampaging the streets dressed as witches, ghouls and skeletons. How original. After the seven hundredth rap on the door - and to make sure I heard it was akin to Lothian and Borders Drug Squad making an enforced entrance - I gave up answering.
Not only because I was totally fed up answering the door to snotty faced kids shouting 'trick or treat'. But because, by that stage, I had ran out of chocolate laxatives to hand out....
Just a month until Christmas party time. Haud me back...

A kid in USA got shot during 'Trick or treat.' I can understand why! We went 'guising' when kids, but it was different then. Now it is commercialised, with added demonic influence. That is worrying!
