Halloween in the UK

[Pumpkin_Man]

iHaunt, they sell 3 different verieties at the store in my town. You can get the original M&Ms plain, M&Ms with peanuts, or M&Ms with almonds. The almond M&Ms are my fave, but they only come in the 1 pound bag. They are not available in individual packages.

Jack Skellington, Reeses Peanut Butter cups have allways been my younger sister's favorite cancy bar, and I loved them too. Butter Fingers, however was my personal fav. The thing I loved about Reeses was that they came in a very Halloween looking package, and still do. I LOVE Reeses Pieces, too. Some times when I go out to the movies I'll have a bag of Reeses Pieces instead of pop corn.

Reeses pieces are so good! Yum yum yum!

iHaunt, yes Haribo sweets are lovely. I havn't had a bag for a while though. I sometimes grab a bag when I go to the movies if I don't fancy popcorn.

Pumpkin_Man, you mentioning M&Ms - I might just have to get myself a bag later! The plain chocolate ones though are the ones I like. I havn't had them for a while either & now i've got the craving!

My favourite sweets though have to be Skittles. I absolutely love them!

[iHaunt]

I think I'll try with Haribo candies.

I think I'll try with Haribo candies.

Great!

Let me know what you think of them.

Speaking of Halloween themed candies, my local grocery store actualy had some advertising posters up about this "great sale" they are going to have beginning mid September on Halloween candy. I saw Halloween theme paper plates, cups and plastic wear at our local Dollar Store.

My local supermarket have a sale on candies in the run up to Halloween, then about a few days to a week before the big day they go back up to normal price.

I make sure I buy mine early!

This will be pretty cool. I have no interest in the royals, however their castles are centuries old & have some tales to tell!

Unfortunately it looks like i'll be on nights that weekend. I booked Halloween off but i'll be busy greeting the ToT's, watching horror movies, basically enjoying & celebrating the day of Halloween to go then.

Thanks for letting me know about this though. It would be interesting to hear from people that do go.

Not only in England, but through out all Europe, there are a lot of cool 'haunted' places to visit. I woudl love to have a year, an unlimited budget and a motorcycle to travel all around to the verious ancient places.

England, Ireland and Scottland would probably be my favorites.

I am dying to go to London and take the Jack the Ripper tour and see that dungeon museum they have

I would like to see those places in London, too, but I would really like to see the more obscure or abandoned places.

I've been dying to do this tour as well. So far though whenever i've thought about going across to London (I live in South West England about 2 hours away) something's always came up.

Hopefully one day i'll do it. I'm gunna do the ghost walk in my city at some point in the build up to Halloween.

My wife wants to go Christmas shopping in London, so maybe i'll do the JR tour then as it runs all year.

The London dungeon museum does look good, as does the Tower of London.

[Murfreesboro]

I toured the Tower, a thousand years ago. I went through with a pack of grade school kids and that's mainly what I remember about it. That, and ravens as big as large dogs. And the crown jewels. And suits of armor that looked small enough for my 14-yr-old daughter to wear.

I could be wrong though & maybe the supermarkets over here do buy them from farms growing them over here.

Heck! Over here we grow pumpkins on trees... http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/ ... story.html
