penny for the guy

Just walked down to the shop at the bottom of the road and the local feral youth are already outside begging at twenty past nine pm the first week in October for bonfire night. They can't have been much older than ten. I said to the guy in the shop and he said they make over thirty quid a day doing. They didn't even have a Fucking guy. Thirty quid a day though! !!!

Not looking forward to it this year.
It's my turn in the pram.

I absolutely hate the little twats that do this!

I have been wondering if I should be wiring the doorbell to the mains so they get their treat!

Are you mixing up 'penny for the Guy' - (bonfire night), with 'trick and treat' (Halloween) by any chance, Karly?

It seems I am, I thought it was a bit early for the kids coming round knocking on peoples doors!

Get a big tin of sweets a load of change and have a laugh with them, no wonder they hate the elders.

Halloween (31st Oct) is before bon-fire night (5th Nov) though - so penny for the guy is much worse...Although if I was a kid and making £30 a day I'd do the same!

Try and give them just a penny though and listen to the shit they give you! !!!!
