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."

Land RoversNot exactly something I've been made to do, but have ended up doing because it's a "tradition"... If you ever buy a proper Land Rover (not one of those posh car things, but the proper agricultural version) be aware that pretty much every other Landy driver will either wave at you or flash their headlights at you as they pass on the other side of the road. I think it's because we all sympathise with the fact that we all drive something built on 1940s technology which periodically falls to bits, and all have huge puddles of oil on our drives...
It's quite funny though, there are people who I've been waving to (and who have been waving at me) pretty much every day for the last 12 months, and I know I'll never, ever, meet them :-)
Length, girth, height, fuel consumption, clouds of smoke etc.
