Superstitions

Green was considered very unlucky in my mum's family (long story, but based on experiences!) and I feel uncomfortable wearing or buying green things (unless no choice). But I haven't imposed that on the next generations.

No shoes on the table (hygiene?), salt over the shoulder, don't open umbrellas indoors, don't walk under a ladder (safer not to, anyway).

No- but some of them are fun- I tend to focus on the good luck rather than the bad luck ones!

I'm not at all superstitious.

My daughter was, to a degree, and my mum.

Yes, ridiculously so! 😂😂😂

No not at all superstitious don’t do any of those things probably most I do is say fingers crossed about an life happening

When we were dwardling my Gdad used to say

If you step on a crick
You’ll marry a brick,
And a beetle will come to your wedding.

Total nonsense as far as I know but got us skipping along as we tried to avoid stepping on the joins between the paving slabs.

Walking under a ladder.
And seeing a black cat cross a road.
I think that's one bad, and one good.

We always say 'Good morning, Mr Magpie, how are your wife and children?'

Although, currently, I often feel like saying 'B****r off, Mr Magpie, and take your mates with you - the bird food is not for you!'

Did you know that you can counteract the bad luck of seeing just one magpie if you can also see a heron? Well, that's how I used to calm DD2 on her way to do her A levels - and it worked.

No shoes on the table.
Always acknowledge a magpie.
Always throw some salt over my shoulder if I spill some.
Never walk under a ladder.
Never open an umbrella indoors.
If I find a coin, I always spit on it and put it in my right pocket.

Other than that, I'm not superstitious at all.

Oh white rabbits white rabbits white rabbits on first of the month.

Have to avoid walking on three side by side man holes/pavement thingy’s

Throw salt over my shoulder if I spill any.

Cannot walk under a ladder.

Do the shoes and magpie rituals, haven’t heard about bananas and travelling.
