[Columbine]

Since I was a kid there's been this weird kind of push to make Halloween the same kind of mega commercial event in the UK as it is in the USA. Although, where I live everyone has looked at all the hype in the shops and gone 'bugger that!' and gone out Halloween night to avoid the trick or treaters.

So I suppose the restaurants benefit, but Urgh. Halloween is for little kiddies and student house parties; I wish they'd stop encouraging drunk vindictive teens to go about harassing people on their own doorsteps.
