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 Green TowelWhen you drive past the station in Shrewsbury, and turn right, you will notice that on the left of the road above the hairdressers "block", is a large ventilation opening, covered by a green cloth.
In about 1980 (when I first moved to Shrewsbury aged 3), this was the first thing I noticed and would routinely scream "The Green Towel!!!!" whenever we passed it.... and I still do this..... even to myself.... even though it's a lot smaller than it used to be.... yes, I am a lunatic....
I also go into Wilkinsons sometimes, because I remember when it used to be a play area, and I try to work out which double doors were the same ones I went "exploring" through all those years ago, and got lost....
