Kids knocking on doors, begging for sweets, with parents smoking fags hanging around..chavs r us

I prefer it in France, far more dignified!

You’re right Craig, i think they have their priorities right here.

Any trick-or-treaters that managed to find their way to our door would have probably deserved a good handful of sweets for being so brave :)

When we first came, 6 years ago, lots of houses and shops were decorated with witches and pumpkins etc and there were masks and such on display in the supermarkets.
Now, there’s hardly anything to show for it but you have to be prepared for a few children to come to the door in disguise. last night about a dozen turned up at our house.

In France they have much more important things to celebrate and recognise at this time of the year such as the produce that is brought in from the fields.
