The worst is eggs being thrown at homes with elderly or infirm occupants.Worse still, that there are parents nearby with these apparently well brought up kids who allow this.To me that's worse than the kids actually throwing the eggs. It causes great distress to those for whom this is not a long standing traditional event. Particularly as it is after dark.I wonder what these parents would do if a bag of flour and water was sent as return fire on their little Horrors?The etiquette needs to be made clear. No Pumpkin or spooky artefact outside, so leave be.And a giggle may be but clearing dried egg from paint. glass or brickwork is no easy task.So maybe all ought issue a code of conduct like the Fireworks code to remember the etiquette and be more considerate.Then carry on having fun on those who want to enjoy it with others who are happy to do the same.It has to remembered too, that for a great many people. 31st of October is also a day when people remember the deceased members of their families and it is not such a jolly jape but one of respect.
