I'm in York but it's not a local thing as far as I know.........

[cazzz1975]

not a good thing imo..

[craft1948]

It was great fun when I was little cazzz but nowadays seems to be an excuse for vandalism rather than mischief..........

it's pretty much the ancestor of trick or treat (which is therefore not American as people seem to think). But I've never heard of it down south. We have knife gangs here instead.

Oh right...the worst thing we used to get up to was tying terraced house door knobs together.

[Ankou]

ooooh, what i would give to carve a turnip.

[cazzz1975]

thats what I was thinking craft, mischief was mischief a few years ago, 2011 mischief doesnt bear thinking about.. :o

"ooooh, what i would give to carve a turnip."

I think your out of luck on that one as Cameron is still in France.

Ditto Craft.

It hasn't reached Scotland yet - not that we would ever get up to any mischief anyway. We are all good, law abiding citizens. ;-)
