@Roseformeplease

Done - but an observation. All of your questions supposed that the idea of "Trick or Treating" comes from America. In fact, in Scotland, kids go "guising" (as in disguised) and go round to houses, not to play a trick in return for a treat, but to do a short performance - usually a joke or a song.

Thus, I am very much in support of this (very old) tradition - much less so of the idea that, if you don't feed the kids, they will do some damage, as practised elsewhere.

I just think this should be noted.

Thank you Roseformeplease and also TheScottishPlay, museumum , and YesILikeItToo who all posted about "guising".

Sorry that the survey didn't include "guising". We have indeed made a note of all that you've said, and we will bear it in mind when we get the survey results (plus any comments we get about this in the '"other" boxes on the survey).

Thanks
