An ex-Navy mate was having a bit of a grizzle to me today about the way American traditions like "Trick or Treating" on 31st October, are changing us Aussies into pseudo Yanks.
He lives in a densely populated northern NSW coastal town where he says this habit is becoming "a pain in the bum" so, not having a lot to do on the day previous to the event, he went down to the local supermarket and bought few dozen white onions and a bundle of wooden skewers. He then went home and made up a batch of red toffee and made up some "Magic Spell Toffee Apples".
Well, they did say "Trick or Treat", and he's already busy planning what to do for next year.
Now I'm starting to think that maybe this is a tradition, that might be worthwhile, well, at least for Halloween.
The bloke was, would you believe it,.... a bloody Bandsman of all things, I didn't think that he had it in him, I might have to see if he can be made into an honorary Stoker....
