Possibly, but being a Goth (she doesn't care what anyone thinks) in a school full of Chavs, doing TieQuanDo comes in handy ;-)
When you knock on someones door and run away .. all very funny and that because it makes the dog bark, that wakes the baby and you end up having to stay up late trying to get it to sleep again making it difficult at work the next day.
When they do it the next night you can just happen to be walking out of your back gate carryling a ladder as they run face first into it ... "Oh, Im sorry lads .. I'm not with it today .. feel a bit tired, didn't get much sleep last night ... "

Wordsworth & Homer refer to "tusky boars", Knostrop Hall is in Leeds, and Barry Tubb has references to both...but I'm missing something here!

Tusky is rhubarb.
I suspect it is - or was - grown at Knostrop. That's part of the rhubarb triangle. Spouse lived near Pontefract Lane in Leeds.

Hmm. The nearest the local lads did to that in our street was tying two door knobs together and knocking on both and running away.
Allegedly. I reckon that there were urban myths even in the 1940s but it all seemed very exciting to me (who was kept in on Mischief Night). I always wanted to join a Gang :-(

A Policeman was visiting a house after it had been burgled (for the nth time) and the householder said ..
"I'm going to get a baseball bat ready for next time"
Policeman "You should get a rounders bat .. they are easier to swing in confined spaces ... "

A moment of pleasure I remember as a Schoolchild was when the Head teacher of my primary school summoned me to his desk. He had turned out some cupboards and found a school punishment register from the twenties. In it was the name of my Father who had six slaps on the hand with a ruler. The act for which he was being punished was "for throwing a Snowball with a Stone in it,and breaking Mabels glasses".
Confronted with this evidence that he was a less than perfect child my father claimed he had been mistaken for his brother. Still does.

No, that was - sadly WAS - Pontefract. Pontefract Lane in Leeds is a long way from Ponte.

I think it must have been a wry joke. It's lost me too now, but I'm sober at this time of day.

When they say 'Trick or treat?' I usually say 'I'll have a treat please.' The confusion is wonderful to behold...
