@Mauve_matelot's boss sent all the staff home with a pumpkin to carve.
So that's what we did.
The company logo is based on the insignia for a Royal Navy captain, so we incorporated that on the back

Is there Halloween in England???
@Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine Halloween was *invented* here. Amusingly, by the Roman Catholic church.
They co-opted Samhain and called it All Saints' Day or All Hallows' Day.
Therefore, just like Christmas has Christmas Eve, so All Hallows' Day has All Hallows's Eve, aka Halloween!
Halloween is a Christian Vigil. This is a fact that most Satanic Panic Evangelicals do not know!

@stueytheround @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Mauve_matelot isn't also the idea of the pumpkin/turnip lantern etc to ward off evil spirits on said day?
@rych Yes. As is dressing up as one. Belief was if they see you as one of their own, they leave you alone. @Klaatu_Veratta_Nectarine @Mauve_matelot
