Most people expect candy and chocolate when they knock on the door at Halloween, so on the rare occasion someone appeared at our house when I was a kid... they were in for a… TRICK!See, my mum was never a big fan of Halloween (to be fair it was still very much an American thing at the time), on top of that, she’s always been pretty health conscious… which worked out well for us in the long term I guess.Anyhoo, I recall one Halloween some trick or treaters knocked on the door (rarely happened bec
