i know its worrying it really has gone health and safety mad the united kingdom ,im only 32 and even as a lad "a penny for the guy " was dying out around here folk not wanting kids talking to strangers and even folk from as little as 10 doors down (yet they are happy with them doing it a few days before on halloween )
perhaps one day common sense will prevail for some of the cultural yearly activities
