They've started and god what a sad effort. Two lads outside Kidsgrove Co-op with nothing more than a tracksuit top stuffed with paper. I sincerely hope something more respectable turns up to tempt me to offload a bit of loose change.
It used to be a labour of love when we used to turn one out.
Get a grip lads.

The bloody kids today haven’t got their heart in anything. Last Christmas a couple of chavvies knocked on my door and started singing. I didn’t really want to listen to their shite rendition of ‘We wish you a merry Christmas ‘, but I stood there anyway. After about 2 verses they held their hands out for some money. I said “is that it?” They said that was all they knew. The lazy little fuckers didn’t even follow it up with a bit of Away in a manger. I told them to come back when they’d learnt at least one fucking carol, knowing full well I’d never see the little shits again. They probably thought Ebenezer Scrooge had answered the door, but they didn’t even know Jinglefuckingbells. |

Do we have a co-op in Kidsgrove any more? Whitehill and Buttlane. |

I saw one lying on the street looking worse for wear the other day so I chucked a few quid in to try and help them out.
Turns out it was Neil Aspin.

Thinking back a few years ago there was a lad who's face got badly disfigured in a fire on the top of Barclays bank in Kidsgrove (Frost i think his name was) and he would sit outside the shops with a sign saying penny for guy while his mates would do the asking.
Thats lazy!

In theses days where Unorganised bonfires are rarely allowed to happen this tradition has sort of gone
I’m very surprised these kids even knew about it.
I loved as a kid scrounging all sort of wood, settees and other stuff to make a massive fire. These days it’s all organised sanitised events.
They hardly teach the kids about the gunfire plot either.
I’m not against any of these days, Halloween, Christmas etc but they have turned into these mass consumer events.
There is no harm telling the kids why Bonfire Night, Halloween, Christmas, Easter etc occur and why we have the “celebrations” we do.
Without the stories they are a waste of commercialised shit that as people like me lose interest and do not take part with my kids then my kids won’t bother when they are older.

I used the settee one year. My missus went mad. All she was bothered about was where would she sit to watch Corrie for fucks sake. |

The little darlings have been Americanised
Why bother going to the bother of building something and then horrors of horrors you have to go through the process of coverting this cash into goods
Much easier to terrorise and extort with menence sweets from pensioners using hallowe'en as a excuse
Trick or treat
You should be allowed to wire the door knockers up and fry the little sods
