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."

More coal.You know that tradition of bringing coal in on the first day of the new year? Mrs Dickus has interpreted this to mean 'just after midnight', and so every year I get booted out into the freezing cold, watch the fireworks and then come back carrying said piece of coal. I even have to knock to get back into my own house!
It's always the same piece of coal as well - I'm sure that means it doesn't count. Oh, and 10p as well for some reason.
For the record, either Peugeot 306 owners don't wave to each other, or everyone's just ignoring me.
