A group of trick-or-treaters who bought gifts for a great-grandmother are being sought by the woman's family to say thank you.
Brenda Burdon, 86, was visited at home in Denton, Newcastle, by three children called Jessie, Olivia and Walter.
She apologised for having no treats to give them when they visited on Thursday but the next day they returned with a card, chocolates and a £10 note.

That's the UK for you. We have a very liberal education system that teaches kindness. Then you enter a conservative world and get ground up

Those kids were raised better than most

There's some really excellent people out there. The issue is the inactive people being okay with things they shouldn't be okay with.

Some people still raising caring little people-thank you!

Why did they go trick or treating on Thursday? I wouldn’t have had candy on the 28th either…

And near me kids threw rocks at a house because no one answered the door and their parents laughed.

Those £1 muffins are delicious. Stay moist for 3 months out the packaging.

You mean those kids didn't egg or TP bombed the old lady's house? What kind of "Trick or Treat" bullshit is this??? -s
neeners
assuming this is from 2021, trick or treating should not occur on october 28
AnathemaNoreh
That would make sense, but it did. I have no idea why they went that early

Someone had a post about Darlington train station a month ago. Weird to see on here when I can look out of my kitchen window and see it too.

Awww, a flashback for me to the 6th grade and my home room teacher. We were her wee bairns. She introduced me to Chumbawumba

Kids right? Barn in Swedish.
zombiejedediah
Vikings did in fact leave a bit of vocabulary. "Barn" in Norwegian & Danish too.

Meanwhile some lil cunts took the entire bowl of candy we put out 20 minutes into trick or treating...
neeners
I don’t understand leaving a bowl. Be there to admire costumes and say hi to the neighbors. You gotta be all in or not at all.
beez428
Trying to social distance but not be one of the lame houses with no candy
neeners
Yeah, and too bad you know there’s some lame neighbors around

Awww they bought her ten quid

There are some things that money just can't buy, but one of those things is not money

Some ATMs make you buy your own money.
