Rob Naylor BS: Trick 'r Treat... (37) RE: BS: Trick 'r Treat... 01 Nov 13

As kids, we never celebrated halloween.

we did, however, have "Mischief Night" which was 4th November. We'd do around lifting people's gates off and carting them on our "bogie" carts to somewhere like the nearest crossroads or pub. Or we'd tie a whole row of terraced houses' front doorknobs together with clothesline. Or fish scarves out from hall coat-stands through letterboxes. Lots of other evil little tricks that'd come back to me if I thought long enough.

It seems to have been largely confined to "up north" though. Whenever I've mentioned it to people since moving to Kent I've been met with blank looks.

Anyone else have "Mischief Night"?
