Family codes and ritualsFreddy Woo writes, "as a child we used to have a 'whoever cuts doesn't choose the slice' rule with cake. It worked brilliantly, but it's left me completely anal about dividing up food - my wife just takes the piss as I ritually compare all the slice sizes."
What codes and rituals does your family have?

LondonI live in north London, just near Tufnell Park tube station. Very nice. Lots of bastard squirrels the size of small ponys, but a decent pub over the road n a shop just down stairs for fags and Mars bars, so I'm a happy bunny.
My family, however, assume that because I live in London I:-
a) know everybody who lives in London. By first name.
b) know every celebrity in the world, personally. (My mum actually asked me if I had met Johnny Depp the last time I went to visit. Obviously, I said yes, but only to play snooker with. - And I told her he was a midget and really likes cheese n pickle sandwiches).
and c) am told by my mum not to get on the tube with a backpack because, and I quote: "You do look a bit shifty and what with being mediteranian looking I dont want the police to shoot you by accident."
