Family codes and rituals
Freddy 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?

Dutch Car
We got bored with yellow car pretty quickly so we progressed to Dutch car (they have yellow number plates on the front) we are now on to Benelux car - a bit more difficult.
As a one off, I was driving to London from Brighton with a couple of mates and they were unfamiliar with the Dutch Car concept. So for a one day wonder, and spotting a VW Camper, the game was set. We would punch upon siting a VW Camper. Unfortunately, neither of us were aware that that was the first of hundreds (literally) en route to some sort of rally. With punches being thrown left right and centre. The usual driver immune rule was thrown out the window and the fight got dirty very quickly. The end result was us in a layby having a full blown fight. In front of a burger van.
We don't talk about that day!
