I have a BIG bowl of sweets ready, and only 3 lots of kids knocked the door - more for me!!!!
To be fair, I live in an ok area and the kids are with parents and polite.
Used to live in a shiter area, groups of 17 year old scum in binbags and boot polish turning their nose up at sweets and asking for money
Plus, they knock one by one so you get 5 or 6 knocking and begging
One lad the other year was a week early, and when i offered the bowl of sweets up he said "nah don't like them, got any change and I will buy my own"

cheeky fekker got told to do one
