Not often I can say that about myself but........... went to pick up grandchildren from a Hallowe'en party. Asked if they had been "dookin' fur aiples" as we say in this neck of the woods. No said the guide leader, we're not allowed to do that for H & S reasons. There could be water borne germs getting passed around. Pass me the cotton wool!

No trips to the baths for those kids then, pathetic!
Quite, magic, especially if some little tyke has had a quiet wee in the pool!
Never thought of that lol
Not a shock...when I quit as an AAC Scouts a number of years ago it was because the PC lefty hand wriingers were stopping us doing stuff that we'd been taught as kids, traditional scouting skills.... pretty pathetic really

Well, the family are having their own Hallowe'en party tomorrow night and there will be dookin' fur aiples, treacle scones, mashed tatties and neeps and all the usual daft nonsense that should make up a good party.
Sounds a real ' treat ' maggiebee can i bring some Bury black puddings . ;)
don't forget the toffee apples !
Not a trick, treat or pumpkin to be seen. I love the smell of burning tumshie in the evening. :-)
Cheers, Maggie. :-)
That's right Anne - in my case Toffee Apples with the teeth glaring up at you.
When I was a kid the adults told me it was fun to "dook" for apples.

I quickly discovered they were lying.
Some black bun too.... it's not just for Ne'erday
Pray tell douglas9401 what is a tumshie?
LOL @ jj
@ Magicmick a Tumshie is a Turnip a proper big turnip with golden flesh often confused with the wee swedes in the south
Thank you Slapshot , er thanks but no thanks.
