I wasn't allowed to ride my bike at a particular time of the month because, according to my father, I would lose my virginity and then how would I marry God?

Did you know that the May refered to is not the month of May but the old name for the Hawthorn. Once the Hawthorne starts to flower it's safe to go without a coat.

I don't walk under ladders. Especially if there is a man with a paint pot up it.

Its not actually a salute, You are supposed to doff your hat as a mark of respect, magpies mate for life so if you see a single one it means its mate has died, so you are supposed to doff your hat like you would to a widow many years ago

When I was a kid I always used to hear that old wives tale about how you should never go swimming after eating. Hence the reason why my mother would never let me have a bath immediately after eating something. Learnt years later that it's actually utter bollocks!

One for sorrow

Two for mirth

Three for a funeral

Four for a birth

Five for heaven

Six for hell

Seven’s the Devil his own self

That one isn't really true - at least not more than any other vigorous exercise after a big meal. If you've eaten a small amount and it's a gentle or normal swim, it's unlikely to have any effect.
