And all day you'll have a penny.
Are you superstitious? Do you cross your fingers when you see a black cat and bow when you see a magpie? Or are you happy walking under ladders and leaving your brolly up in the house? |

Now my first reaction is i dont believe in superstions as such, but there is lots i do that i guess ive just taken for granted as the oldies used to come out with it.
Two that i always adhere to is you should never put red white flowers together without another colur and i dont pass on the stairs or have blossom in the house. I know thats three im sure i will think of other things i do.
Always pick up a penny |

AS Neils Bohr said, when asked why he had a horse shoe hung in his house........
'I don't believe in superstitions, but I am aware that I don't need to believe in it for it to work......' |

Andy always say's if he see's one magpie, hello Mr magpie, how's your wife. Drives me mad as he says it so quietly I think he's talking to me (how silly of me).
I don't like new shoes on a table. But my parents and grandparents were murder and had a list as long as my arm of superstitions.  |

Some years ago were in a pub having a few drinks and 2 guys came in with a huge paving slab.. 
someone had superglued a £1 coin so they stole the whole slab to teach the prankster a lesson.. new slab would have cost them about a fiver ..  |

Not got a superstitious bone in my body.... besides, it's very unlucky to be superstitious. (well, someone had to say it, it would have been bad karma not to) |

Quite a lot of this superstition business is psychsematic, I am sure. If you do something you consider lucky you FEEL lucky and so disregard any of the bad things that happen that day......
A funny thing, when I found out that putting shoes (or boots) on the table was a sign of a fight in the offing. My old lady told me, I asked why and my old man clouted me and said "that's how you know there is a fight in the offing".
I don't believe in the fight being in the offing, but fair play, I don't put me boots in the table anymore! |

S'pose I've gotta say I'm a bit superstitious cos I touch wood; if I pick a coin up, I try to pass it on cos a common 2nd line to the "see a penny" rhyme is "pass it on to a friend and your luck will never end", if I see 1 magpie, I do try to keep an eye out for another (although I don't say "Good Day Mr Magpie, and how's your lady wife?" when I see one)
Other than that, I'm not too bad....my mam has more superstititons than you can wave a stick at tho, it'd crash the fecking server if I tried to list them all...... |
