My brother had no recollection, so this started me off on an Internet search to find out if I had made it up! I was pleased to discover that 'Mischief Night' was indeed celebrated Up North on the 1st of May, as a late April fooling pastime. My memories included covering our front doorknob in treacle so my dad got a sticky surprise upon his return from work. I don't remember if he found it as amusing as we did!

May Day Mischief
I have vivid memories of living in Leeds, as a young child, and playing tricks on my dad for 'Mischievous Night'. When I was about nine, this past time disappeared from our calendar and I only thought about it again last week as we celebrated my dad's birthday.
