Cinnamon Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 It confused me too Ziggy Maybe its not an Oxfordshire thing? All I know about May1 is the First of May song & I cannot possibly repeat that on such a nice forum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 On the first day of any month, you're supposed to say 'White Rabbits' as the first words you utter - it's supposed to be lucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey Lucy Posted May 1, 2008 Share Posted May 1, 2008 We do "Pinch, punch, first of the month and no returns" here. Accompanied by a gentle pinch and punch. If someone gets in first, the other person can respond with "A flick and a kick for being so quick" I have been known to send pinch punch as a text to my hubby when he's away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
