F...Not "relatively new" in Scotland John. Far from it. As a youngster we had everyone doing the dressing up and "guising" (not trick or treating but just doing some awful dance or song for some reward) and "dookin" for apples and monkey nuts and our lanterns were made of turnips, as they should be, not damn pumpkins! Bah.... But it was a huge thing in Scotland in the 50s and 60s. Then I remember as I grew tired of all the fuss I decided just going out in my pyjamas was sufficient attempt at "dressing up", but I was scolded for making a poor effort. Then all the awful bought costumes and capes and fake blood and plastic bloody fingernails and ghastly trick or treating and damn pumpkins arrived from the bloody US of A, and I grew into the miserable old curmudgeon that I am now. Just thought I'd share that.Andrew MacLaren-Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01275686573421308677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-78182560713780148972014-10-31T22:57:14.023+00:002014-10-31T22:57:14.023+00:00Andrew you've been watching the wicker man too...Andrew you've been watching the wicker man too muchJohn Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9807409764973648442014-10-31T22:48:15.979+00:002014-10-31T22:48:15.979+00:00There's the dancing naked round a bonfire and ...There's the dancing naked round a bonfire and inseminating local virgins by the light of the flames aspect, but last time I tried to enter fully into the spirit of things and organised that in my back garden the neighbours disapproved.
