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."

I have a few strange onesfirstly, whenever I hear the name Delia Smith mentioned, i shake my head n say 'rest her soul' or if something happens related to food ie, dropping a plate of food, i say 'Delia would turn in her grave!' I understand she is not dead, but i still do it.
I also cannot walk up stairs, or go up when someone is behind me, i have to run up in 2s. I also have to eat everything in 2s, biscuits etc, difficult when its cake or something, then i have to take an even number of mouthfulls. Thats why i cant eat rice crispies.
Burping must always resemble the word 'Bollocks'.
And finally (for now) When on the last stretch of road leading to the ferry port in dover, we all look out for Ice cream vans, if we do see one, my mother will lean out of the window shouting the names of every ice cream she can remember whilst trying to get the van man to take her 50p coin.
Apologies 4 length etc, u luv it. But when u have OCD and a family of invalids, what do u expect!?
