In England we have a funny tradition for the first day of each month.

 

 

 

First we say "Pinch, punch, it's the first of the month!"

Then we give somebody a small pinch and a light punch on the arm.

We can do this on first day of every month.

 

What a strange ritual. :huh:

Nope....

 

I never heard of it until I came to live in Wales - and not even then until a few years ago!!!!!!

 

Somebody did it to me and I didn't have a clue what it was about and nearly hit them back!!!!!!
