Yet another undesirable export from the USA has emerged in NZ.OK - I don't mind Harley Davidsons and Cadillacs and Zinfandels, but this is something which I place right alongside Big Macs and George Bushes - best kept on the other side of the Pacific.Last night, during dinner, my wife and I were brutally accosted by three neighbourhood terrorists demanding valuables, threatening endangerment to my person or property.Standing over these 5-6-7- year old monsters, hovering at the gateway, was their Osama-Bin-Father, who was not amused when I offered the most valuable thing I had to hand, a glass of 1998 Browns (Padthaway) 'Ernest' Shiraz out of South Australia - humourless bastard!!!!!Spoiled a very nice example of Aussie shiraz from a great year.

So was Noah, our Airedale, in North Yorkshire. Alnost like Lucy, he too scares almost no-one — only burglars and other forms of low life.

Oops, I thought that the custom of carrying burning embers from the bonfire in a hollowed out turnip was from Scandinavia, hence leading to the hollowed out pumpkin with candle (to signify the embers) in the US, as the turnips here were much too small. I'll have to do some research and update my allusion (or illusions in my case). Thanks for the corection. As for the safety of the " trick-or-treater," I too hope that all will be safe and fun, free from some of the problems, real, or imagined, that seem to occur in the US.
