I don't really see any point in it, and I'm amazed it's such a huge issue now..

When I was a kid though it was thrilling the first time you knocked on a door but after that as long as you could sing you would have apples and sweets sometimes cash..it felt a bit Christmasy now I look back..

But all you would have on was a bed sheet...why do kids get spoiled so nowadays?

Especially when it's a pointless thing to do and it's clearly damaging our planet.

I would ban Black Friday first, a terrible American import that has nothing to do with Europe

That's soon..

More waste to deal with...October and November should be cancelled altogether.

Throw them both in the fire on bonfire night, which is now on new years eve.

could we not call it sales, why does it have to be Black Friday? we don't celebrate thanksgiving, though I suppose that is only a matter of time before we take that on as well

Black Friday is an informal name for the Friday following Thanksgiving Day in the United States, which is celebrated on the fourth Thursday of November. The day after Thanksgiving has been regarded as the beginning of America's Christmas shopping season since 1952, although the term "Black Friday" didn't become widely used until more recent decades.

I quite like Halloween and always have but like everything else it has become very commercial and seems to involve a lot of plastic stuff

like 90% of "Black Friday sales" stock is reduced-to-clear crap they've been hoarding in a warehouse specifically FOR Black Friday! Look at the model numbers on the "amazing deal!" TVs, etc... they will all be a couple of years old.

Pretty much, and Black Friday goes on for two weeks, its just another excuse to push crap at people who don't actually need it, think of the planet.... ignore it

Fireworks are dangerous, and anti social in the wrong hands..I like funny youtube videos though, so I thought I would move bonfire night to new years eve and put them in the hands of drunken Scotsmen.

Kids still find it fun, why take away something lighthearted that they enjoy?

To save the planet for them in the future.

I don't think it should be banned, but I do think people ahiuld be encouraged to exercise a bit of creativity and work with their kids to make outfits, either by upcycling old things or hitting the charity shops.
I went to a party as Robin this weekend and all I had to spend was 1.99 for an R patch.

Puts it on and plays with himself?

Bonfire night, organised displays are fine and I guess if a bunch of idiots want to go off into the middle of nowhere and blow themselves up then fine, but yes I would ban them from being set off in gardens or public streets.

Organised bonfire nights can only burn trees I would imagine. Maybe the odd sofa, but mainly trees..

All for a warm glow
