[QUOTE] I heard the term "mischief night" for the first time on the evening news last week when some scrotes lobbed a lit firework at an unmarked police car. Is it one of those made-up things, y'know, like a "Hallmark Holiday"? [/QUOTE] It was in vogue [1] in the sixties up t'north when I were nobbut knee-high to a whippet. It was mainly simple-minded stuff like ringing door-bells and running away or lifting gates off their hinges. Nothing that involved permanent damage ie it was mischief not vandalism. [1] The word vogue was in't in vogue though, least not in our circles.
