If there is a similar thread to this on SL please ignore this one and point me in the right direction. As a kid I was always getting pulled-up for minor misdemeanours in the house such as, leaving your knife & fork crossed on your plate after a meal or putting shoes on the table, opening an umbrella in the house and something you never ever did was throw old bread on the fire. I'm sure other contributors must have more don'ts and even do's that spring to mind from time to time and even the reasons for doing or not doing them. Be interesting to find out.
Daft I call it - What's for tea Ma?

Don't put the empty salmon tin in the bin before it's had a spell on the fire to remove the smell - because of cats.

You've obviously been well brought up, Johnny!
But why would anyone want to put shoes on the table?
A former colleague of mine, 40-odd years ago, once said it would bring bad luck.
It would do in our house - pretty quickly!

Open an umbrella indoors or leave the Christmas decorations up after twelfth night. |
Which despite what many think, is the 5th January! And I hope the grate was cleared and the ashes taken out before New Year arrived!
