Except I didn’t today as I didn’t realise it was the first of July!
Nfk; Shame an you! I guess you didn't say "Black Rabbit" the previous evening either! But I'm quite sure you will only have "good" luck. 
Thank you for your comment. We are rather surprised and disappointed at the lack of responses! I imagined that we would get to learn of many variations across the country in the same way that dialects vary so much. Dr. Google, of course, says it all, but we were hoping to establish a more "personal" contact with the "natives" to discuss the superstition. However, not to be, apparently. 
Interests must be elsewhere, such as the World Cup or carrying on about flabby, male torsos or even the weather! 
Good Health and Good Luck
