Read “Seven simple steps to an ‘eco friendly’ Hallowe’en” from marvellous London blogger Diamond Geezer.

Summary:

1. Offset your broomstick flights.
2. Use low-energy bulbs instead of candles.
3. Turn down your cauldron by 1ºC.
4. Recycle your pumpkin innards.
5. Use only locally-sourced apples for bobbing.
6. Send your child out trick-or-treating unaccompanied.
7. Switch off your television, turn off your hi-fi and spend the evening sitting in the dark.

The brilliance is not in the tips themselves, but in the Geezer’s reasoning.

I adore Violent Veg - “Five-a-day fresh produce humour”.

A man walks into a butcher’s shop (the butcher is licensed to sell game) and says:

“I’d like eight legs of deer please.”

“Humm, eight legs? That’ll be £40, sir,” says the butcher who is licensed to sell game.

“£40?” says the man who wanted to buy the eight legs. “But that’s too dear!”
