hi folks, I'm based in the uk, and I'm
wondering if superstition travels well,
please can you help me, if I was to mention
for example, magpies, please could you tell
me the things that come to mind in your
country ?
thank-you very much.

Hey I come from NOTTINGHAM,ENGLAND
& magpies are a pest where I live.Over the years they have multiplied and have started to bully all the other birds here,even canadian geese which are quite big.Anyway enough of the ornithology lesson,I think there is a magpie quote goes

1 for sorrow
2 for joy
3 for a girl
4 for a boy
5 for silver
6 for gold
7 for a secret never to be told
thats what I remember from an old kids series from the 70's called magpie.
PEACE.
STICKUZ.
