Same in Norn Iron, Boab - no trick or treating, but we were sometimes given sweets (toffee apples usually) and monkey nuts if we showed up in fancy dress at friends' houses or in the local shop. There was definitely no trick or threat involved.

Later, in post-ceasefire "peace", fireworks were once again available to the general public and we had the joy of the sweet, angelic children of Belfast trying to put them through the letterbox if you told them to wise up and stop throwing them at each other.
