    Heading out trick or treating with the kids tonight and we want to try a new neighbourhood this year. Any suggestions? We usually do Westside which is quite fine.

    Do they hand out entire Celebration boxes in Taylor's Hill? :P

    Why not try your own neighbourhood. To be honest i'm not a fan of trick or treat tourists, i prefer to help the local kids i know and recognise and it's not fair on local kids if others are coming in from other areas to hoover up the local door treats.

    Fair play to being able to 'recognise' anyone! Unless there's an adult right beside them on our road, I often haven't a clue who's local or not with costume, but I know more kids come than live here.

    We never get a single one calling. And I'm always ready and waiting just in case,I love Halloween. I think trick or treating has mostly died out though,if you head for Taylors Hill OP except mostly bemused looks and a couple of cent coins.

    Trick or treating (formerly known, and still known by some as 'help the halloween party' ) is 'better' in estates or clumps of houses where the yield is higher and in a way you are safer as adults can keep a distance yet see what house you're at. Harder to monitor with bigger houses further apart with driveways etc.
