Halloween

Living near the Isle of Sheppey,some of the grandma’s round here are only in their late 20’s 😀
You quite often seen tabloid headlines along the lines of "Granny charged with possession of cocaine".
Inevitably an image comes into one's head of a little grey haired old lady doing a line of coke. Surely not one thinks. But of course the reality is that the granny is some hard faced 33 year old with a 16 year old unmarried mother for a daughter.
 
Each year we buy a lot of sweets for all the kids that come knocking at the door. From about 5 till 8 the missus is nearly continually at the door distributing sweets. Costs us about a 15 quid in sweets, but it's neighbourly and I like to put on a friendly default persona on our street.

However, I kind of agree with BromleyMonkey that it's an American import.....it certainly wasn't much of a thing when I was growing up. Still, the youngsters have fun with it and so a smile is better than a flown.

 
Our local village Facebook page is a good laugh this morning.....

Someone decided it would be good to buy 160 plastic whistles and hand them out instead of sweets - they all went and apparently the 'other end' of the village sounded like an illegal rave on speed. One poor woman couldn't ever hear her soap opera's for the noise at one point.......blood vessels were seemingly at bursting point.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
