All the wee shite decorations get bought, then chucked. People whinge about the waste at Christmas, but my experience is that Halloween is just as bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now you mention it, it probably is worse than Christmas for wastage as not everyone will have a Halloween party every year, therefore folk are more likely to chuck decorations out than store them. I got a decent quality costume this year so will definitely be keeping it, although will probably just buy a different mask next year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outstanding if I say so myself. You could go as wee Burney now. 1 hour ago, sjc said: I've had 6 different Halloween parties this month with the various language schools I work at. I obviously didn't wear my mask for the kindergarten kids as it's too scary for them but a 9yo boy did piss himself and cry..... Let's see the scary mask then. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It put me off the whole thing for life - the waste from it is absolutely horrendous. The amount of shite Poundland alone produces is astonishing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, in Japan they follow the American Halloween theme where all the teachers dress up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's at this point I normally remind people in your type of situation to, politely, remind them who won the fucking war. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
