Like the new header by the way dem. Is it just for Halloween, or more permanent? I've always said, '...the best headers always have a beautiful young lady with her legs spread wide!', and low and behold... I've always said that. It's something I've always said. Always!! I like it. That was our strictly for one night only/ until I'm sober enough to replace it LUXURY HALLOWEEN banner!

Wow, I had no idea of that, Dr. S. I guess you must be right about the tradition being imported into the USA by Scottish emigrants, then being taken up by the rest of the UK not too long ago, perhaps due to the popularity of American TV shows and other media. We did swede carving and ducking for apples when I was growing up in the late 60s and 70s, but no fireworks on Halloween...though now November 5th seems to stretch from mid-October to mid-November, so comfortably encompasses Halloween. Interesting that the tricks were played on the night before Halloween. I've heard that being called 'Devil Night' but still thought it was another US import, and the person I heard talking about it associated it with fires, which sounded rather alarming.

Seems a lot of people blame the film ET for bringing "trick or treat" to the UK.
