Sounds so much more fun in America.
The British are too miserable and cynical to do Halloween properly.
Times have definately changed. I remember going trick or treating, in 1987, and one old couple acted as if me and my friends were the first kids they'd ever had knock at their door in costume. They looked like they were in their 80s, and I remember the woman suddenly realising what we were doing, and telling her husband, "It's an American custom", before giving us some biscuits from a tin.
The funny thing is, while Trick or treating did, to my knowledge, start in America, I think Halloween actually originated in Ireland.
