We used to write on car winscreens with my mothers lipstick FOR SALE. Also leave a letter for the milkman in an empty bottle ordering 24 pints of milk, great fun, no harm done.

We used to egg and flour stuff (and people), flood people's gardens...One year we wrapped up some chaps conifers with toilet role and set fire to them...We ran off singing the tune to chariots of Fire. It was one of the most stupid things I've ever done!!!

Oh yes I remember those days well - A long row of terranced houses in Grimethorpe - we tied all the door handles with washing line and smeared dog muck on door steps and then one of us would run up the street knocking on the doors while the gang would be in the middle of the street shouting at those who tried to open their doors to chase us. When they cut the line they would have the dog muck on their slippers to tread back into their houses - and of course we would run off to egg peoples windows, cut tv ariels, swap garden gates, tie tin cans to cats tails (not nice - regret that one).
Its funny tho I now like in Doncaster and it dosent seem to be much of a thing here but I bet its still going strong in Barnsly.

once when i was akid i threw a youghurt at a car and ran away with one of my friends and left the rest of them to get the blame a big body builder type of man got out of the car and shouted at them all but my best friend shouted back at him and he just went away then we found an abandoned building sight and took a few hard hats and some gloves we were all walking round dressed like builders and i got the first aid kit and bandaged everybody up as if we hadd all had a terrible accident it was very funny and i still don't regret it apart from we got the blame for what some other kids did before we got there which was steal a phone and some more electrical equipment.

a favorite of mine was to light a package of human waste whilst placed on a doorstep. this would then be stamped out by the unsuspecting victim. o so much fun would be had.

Once when we were kids, instead of knock-a-door run we tied a blokes door handle to a lamp post so he couldn't get out before we knocked on the door and ran away, We thought it was funny but the bloke went mad and snapped his door in half to get out and I still feel terribly guilty to this day

Never got much beyond ringing door bells and running away. I've always understood that the event commemorates the mischief the gunpowder plotters were up to planning their treacherous deeds on the night before the great event. However, there's a long tradition of "acknowledging" the forces of Misrule and perhaps the origins go back a lot further, contributing also to the way in which more recently we celebrate Hallow'een ?

Hi
Myself and about six or seven others use to window tap. This needed a piece of cotton, an empty cotton reel, a pin and a very steady hand, also we use to BULL ROAR, find a long downfall pipe, pack it tight with paper, light it and stand back, you could hear the noise half a mile away. Needles to say that was about it, NO DAMAGE.
