A lot of people don't like to get youths knocking on their doors they find it intimidating. You get a lot of the mummies who go out in bunches with their little lovies they send them up the path while they wait on the driveways. that's ok
But you also get bunches of cocky teens who bang on your doors and some people dislike it
Quite a few people do think its begging. A lot of older people just don't relate to it. I think Janet Street Porter wrote an article about it this week
Where we live we don't choose to do it partly because some of our neighbours are elderly and also because a lot of houses are quite secluded
Plus a lot of people are quite tightfisted in Leeds !
It's a proactive thing rather than just a passive thing such as penny for the guy
Yes early on in the evening the little ones coming up to the door all dressed up is perfectly fine. But then you get teens hauling huge big bags full of shite coming around later because they've been to so many houses already. Don't they have better things to be doing!?
