RiffRaff Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Talking of stairs, does anyone remember being told not to pass anyone on the stairs as it's bad luck? Isn't this one something to do with coffins? I seem to remember something along those lines.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 Don't know about that RiffRaff, I certainly wouldn't pass a coffin on the stairs! Another one: if you put an article of clothing on "back to front" in the morning wasn't it considered bad luck to turn it round the right way, in other words, you wore it back to front all day feeling an absolute numpty.

Back to front or inside out it was the same you had to wear them as you had put them on as it was bad luck to change them round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By, but we did look a rum lot going to school of a morning..... What about crossed knives on the table being the sign of an argument, and hanging a cut Onion up near the door to attract any germs that came in..
