Coming back from the gym on Thursday, and my brother says 'Got to go by Tescos, so I can pick up some Pumpkins for the kids' Cheesy

Never understood the fascination with them myself, even when I was a kid, and we never got them to carve etc.

Seems to have only become more prevalent recently, or am I imagining things?

We always used turnips when we were kids, were my parents just tight arses or did anyone else do this?  Cheesy

Here you go Woodsey.

Halloween, more American tosh sold to us from across the pond.

The most incredible thing about this thread is marky said he was at the gym the other day and no one questioned it.

Correct, it's like Mothers Day, Fathers Day, Valentines Day, & every other bloody Day bollox. 

Can't be doling with it.

There'll be crimble goods in the shops soon, there will, mark my words.

Crimble merchandise would go on sale 24th December, & not a day earlier, if I had my way. Or even better, cancel it.

You not been shopping recently?  Christmas stuff started appearing in August.  Turnips for me too, but definitely was some confusion between turnips and swedes.

My local gym rents space in evenings for AA meetings and the Dungeons and Dragons club, just assumed it was something like that.

Halloween is an American import.

Complete fraud of a festival.

Our Autumn knees up is Guy Fawkes Night in a few days time.

The Swedes are the ones who put you all in, the Turnips are the ones who call when you go all in.

Haha, might have been pointed towards the AA meetings 10 years ago, but never been into D&D...

Was a 4x a week boy for a good year or so, but stopped after a spell in hospital. Just started back back last week, for the first time in a few years.

Given how much pain I'm in today, the AA meetings would probably be more fun Smiley
