    It's bad luck to let a black-cat cross your path.
    See a load of hay and make a wish, but don't look at the load again or you won't get your wish.
    If you start out on a journey don't turn back or it means a disppointment.
    Put your shoes on the table and you'll have bad luck.
    See a pin and let it lie and you'll live to rue the day.
    Never give anybody a pin without getting back a penny.
    A horse shoe hung up on the door is good luck.
    If you see six white horses you'll have a load of good luck.
    Putting your clothes on inside out mean disspointment.
    If you carry a spade across your shoulders out of the house you will have bad luck.
    I never said a hate = I never said a word
