"No trick or treat"
31 Oct 2013

In America parents escort their kids when out trick and treating. It is a family affair. I for one had done it for many years taking my Daughter out on Halloween kept me in candy and chocolate for many weeks. Police notices were placed on roads warning drivers to be alert and keep a lookout for kids that may be crossing roads. Unlike here where it's an excuse to get drunk and be disorderly.

I heard on the news a couple of weeks ago that there was a water company ( not sure which ) that wanted to put up their prices. The Government stepped in and stopped the intended raise. So why can't they do it with Electric companies.

Thanks for your replies. It would seem to me the third party that called me was doing what we call in the States "Bait and Switch" however i suppose i was very naive on coming back to the UK with the cost of living.

Wherever one gets information does it REALLY matter to the masses where it comes from. The same could be said if it comes from ITV or the BBC. Everybody has the choice of what to read and what to watch for that matter. As far as I'm concerned ...

Going to be Interesting that's for sure. I just don't understand how this and many others are allowed to get away with such abuse of the taxpayers money, but what can a humble British born person do about it, yes i know vote. I'm only allowed to claim a small portion of a UK State Pension and my wife has stamped in her American Passport ( Not entitled to benefits ) that i can understand she being ...

Lynne, as there appears to be so many stories much like this it's possible it may have ran before. But examples such as this really gets my hair up ( what i have left that is ) Can't remember if the age's of the kids were stated. Does one get free child care if you have some sort of job? just asking, I'm still trying to get a handle on the UK benefit system which i find confusing. Do you get ...
