Well I've never heard of it.
Of course it is. Turnips (or tumshies) are the traditional British thing you carve at Hallowe'en and put a candle in. I used to leave that to Mr. K when our boys were young so don't know how difficult it is. Pumpkins are an American thing - maybe they don't eat their porridge so they're too weak to take on a turnip (kidding, Da Butt, so put the gun away!) Do we even grow pumpkins in this country?

We never did anything here before about 1970.
Well we did in Scotland. Kids always went out 'guising' but my mother never let me - she must have been afraid I'd be grabbed by a wicked pervert.
