Weird TraditionsTalking with a friend yesterday about school dinners, she suddenly said, "We had to march into the dining room behind the School Band... except on Thursdays." Since all of us were now staring, she qualified this with, "...on Thursdays there was no wind section. It was a tradition."
What weird stuff have you been made to do "because it's a tradition."

The third light thing"when passing arond a light for ciggies put it out before the 2nd/3rd and re-light (alledged WW1 thing?)"
I believe it's to do with snipers being able to aim at the light and get off a shot by the third cigarette. Therefore the third light is considered unlucky as it may result in your brain being splattered over the person giving you the light. Quite how this applies in the local (unless you drink in a REALLY rough pub) I don't know.
