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?

Regional warsWhen going on family holidays to Scotland, as the car passed over the border, as dictated by the sign at the side of the road that says "Welcome to Scotland", my sister and I would both stretch all limbs forward as much as possible just so we could shout "I was in Scotland before you!". An equal amount of fun could be had when passing the England sign on the return journey.

Back in the day.......when I was King of Wales (no, really. It's a long tale)...
..we used to celebrate crossing the border into Ingerland by chucking rubbish out of the car windows. After all, we didn't want to litter our luverly Welsh valleys, did we?
