The 2 armed guards at the front gate keep all the chavs out, plus the 2 mtr high fence and razor wire , so only got my own kids and my neighbours kids ringing the door bell so not to bad and the wives walk round the estate with them. So don't mind giving them a treat or 2. POT NOODLE NAVIGATION CHALLENGE 2010 WINNER

Ah, the Great British generosity streak strikes again.
So, it's American.
So, it involves you going to the door.
So, you have to give some sweets away.
Have you seen the look on the little 'uns faces when you open the door? Don't you like making people happy?
Perhaps being nice might improve the image of 4x4 drivers when they see your Disco in the drive.

You miserable old gits!!!..i remember when i was a kid..if we got the door slammed on us we would collect a load of dog crap, go back to the house, cover the turd in newspaper, light it and run off and hide behind the nearest car and watch.
Priceless when the geezer comes out and tries to stamp out the fire in his porch way

I didn't mind the doorbell ringing last night.
I didn't mind giving the younger kids sweets.
I didn't even mind the older ones pelting our house with manky old food.
But if the little f rs ever go near my D3!

Small, or even not so small, children having sweets is fine, its the ones who want money with menaces I object to, one bag of funsize Mars later, all is well
