After a day in bitterly cold gale force winds I spent a good 2 hours shivering when I got home and my hip aches like hell.
Explained this to my Nan who told me the cold got into my bones 
What strange things have older people said to you? |

There are many old sayings that my parents used for the weather, like for March its in like a lamb and out like a lion or visa versa. For summer it was oak before the ash we're in for a splash and ash before the oak we're in for a soak |

Don't sit on cold steps, you'll get piles
Don't have a bath when you're on your period (no fecking idea why)
Don't go near pregnant animals on your period, you could cause them to abort
If you pick it, it'll never get better (that one's probably accurate)
Don't swallow chuddy, it'll tangle your guts
It's a wonder I ever survived adolescence 
**bought to you by the department for old wives tales** |

"'Don't put an umbrella up in the house'
Similar to the shoes on table thing I think, resulting in a lifetime of bad luck and curses, naturally. "
Don't stare or your face will set like that.
Don't swallow apple pips - a tree will grow.
Don't walk under ladders
