Beggar's night in Lovejoy

We used to call this Cabbage Night.

 

Was a big thing when I was a kid (80s).  Eggs, toilet paper and watermelons.  Local markets wouldn't sell those things to kids without a note from parents (or not at all) on that night.

 

It's no longer a thing, thank God.

You and your gang should have been tossed into jail.  It is, after all, fair to persecute someone for something they did that was, at that time, expected.  If you have a shred of dignity you will turn yourself in to the authorities and profess your guilt.

For anybody in the Lovejoy area stay safe and have fun!

 

Feels like I saw a thousand plus children running around the streets

 

Gosh, I forgot about Begger's, or Devil's Night as it was known around Broadway Market. Two days of candy.
