I know it's not an old wives tale but I used to laugh at my mum when we were small (I'd be about 4 as it was before I started school) if we were playing on top of the coal bunker she would say... "Don't come running to me when you break your leg"
The day I fell head first off it ... She came running to me!!
Not sure that it knocked any sense into me .. that may have been the point when it was all knocked out |

Whatever witches brew my nan used in the mid 90s to clean the filth of soil and Satan from the creamy jeans.
I used to wear them every Saturday. And whatever fate befell them, they'd be ready for war next weekend, regardless of the substances I'd throw at them.
Witchcraft! |

Haha I always salute the first one of the day that I see. But I'm usually on my way to work at the time so I disguise it as scratching my forehead or brushing my fringe back so that I don't look any weirder than I already do It has to be together with saying "Good morning Mr Magpie" though.
I think they're lovely birds anyway. |

Jeez, the old wives tales I have heard from some of the locals from my little island in the thames!
Ones about Old mother red hat flying over from an adjacent island, flying on a 3 bar gate..
Nearby Canewdon is famous for witches, apparently having orgies in the church grounds, but choosing a 3 bar gate as a mode of transport over a broomstick.. I have no idea, perhaps it was the predecessor to Amazon and she was making a delivery to the local farm of a much needed gate to keep the cattle in..
Or perhaps the old gate was destroyed by the ghost ship that apparently sails across the misty fields at sunrise at a certain time of year.. More likely that certain time of year coincides with when the first batches of home brew cider is ready as the locals know nothing of ABV and I reckon you could send a rocket to mars using just a pint of that grog...
Some of course do hold some truth like an apple a day but most are utter bollocks... |

Magpies mate for life and will stay with the same partner (I do hope their are no magpies with accounts on Fab, they will be ostrichsized almost as much as married men), so if you see a single magpie it could mean that it has lost its partner. |
