Parents are to blame for allowing their children to forcefully 'beg' at doors of private properties.

The kids will be around again in a few days time, asking a 'Penny for the Guy' ; perhaps even without a 'Guy' anywhere in sight.

Guising's a very Scottish term! There has been one child with her mother knocking doors tonight. I think it's become horrible - with a nasty vicious side to it developing if you don't play. I've got signs up telling people not to bother - I won't open the door.

[Zacs-Master]

Good for you Boxtops.

It's like carol singing - come to the door and sing one line - that's not carol singing, it's begging.
