Interesting Facts

According to research from VoucherCodes.co.uk., nearly half (48 per cent) of people in the UK get annoyed by trick or treaters, and 42 per cent refuse to take part in the festivities because they don’t believe in the holiday. (Not so much halloween as hallowmean.)

According to research from VoucherCodes.co.uk. households in the UK are set to spend over £127 million on Halloween treats this year. (Averaged out that’s £5.27 each.  I will have a bag of little bags of gummy bears on hand, but to be honest there's not much trick or treating in Germany - so I may be stuck with those gummy sweets.  What a shame!)

According to research commissioned by Santander Insurance. 20% of people in the UK want Trick or Treating to be banned at Halloween. (50% want it to be mandatory for parents to accompany children and 43% would support a ban on people wearing masks obscuring the face over Halloween. 31% would like to see a curb on people wearing hooded tops. And 38 % would back the introduction of curfews for groups of youths at this time of year. I'd back a curfew for groups of kids at any time of year! They should be at home, doing their homework.)
