Re: Superstitions.

I seem to have shaken off most of my superstitions as I've got older. I went under the ladder a few times on Sunday (as well as up and down it) while I was pruning the wall climber. Friday 13th holds no fear for me. And  once you live with a lone magpie, you don't tend to bother with the saluting thing - you just offer an arm to land on. I suggest the rhyme be changed to "One for all your valued objects stolen" or "One for shredded wallpaper", or just "One's enough".

or just "One's enough".

Lol Maisie!!

I'm not sure about Superstitions, I have none, I think! But I had a friend with a pet Magpie when I was a boy. Sorry when I was a small boy, somethings never change!! Anyhow what a clever bird, It was a real joy, a little noisy perhaps :-0 but a joy all the same.

One is enough, if there where more they would likely of evicted my friend and his family.

I claim not to have superstitions.  I am told that my refusal to have a green car is superstitious, but for me it is actually based on the fact that I know so many people whose only accident ever has been in or caused by a green car!

Hi OG

My sister had a lime green Hillman Imp as her first car (she got it really cheap - I wonder why!). We called it the "green bogey".  Everything that could have gone wrong with it, did!  One day on her way to a wedding, she went to turn right and the steering wheel came off in her hands!!  thankfully she stalled the car as soon as it happend and wasn't hurt just really shocked.  We got rid of it after that. 

Perhaps more to do with the make than the colour ... perhaps I shouldn't stretch my luck as my car is green!!!
