It was always Guy Fawkes night when I was a lad - Didn't hear anything about Haloween until much later! Some of the traditions seem to be interchangeable - Fires and 'cadging' for instance. Anyone know when GF night realy took off? Did the powers that be decide All Saints and All Souls were no substitute for a good bonfire and used GF to take the heat off? (Pun intended)

Best Haloween do's I have seen recently have been at Whitby - Particularly, as happens this year, when the 31st is during the Goth Weekend. I wouldn't mind being scared out of my trousers by some of them Goth lasses...;-)
