Since when did Halloween become known as 'Trick or Treat Night'? In the past 10 years or so, I have witnessed the rise of 'Trick or Treat', an alien custom from over the pond (ditto baseball caps, McDonalds, and 'crack').
Great Britain has a venerable tradition of Paganism, celebrated on Halloween, but which is being hijacked in place of this 'Trick or Treat' tommyrot - an excuse for youngsters to behave worse than usual (if that were possible), and another (pre-Christmas) orgy of consumer spending.
Bring back the Old Gods!
