2. When you move out of a house, leave your old sweeping brush behind.

3. Don’t even think of putting your new shoes on the table.

Bad luck will ensue.

4. Never move into a new home on a Friday, Saturday, or any rainy day in fact. You’ll be plagued with bad luck.

5. You should never hammer a nail after sunset – you’ll anger the gods (and your neighbours).

Nobody wants that.

6.  Making a cup of tea? Never stir it anti-clockwise.

Unless you want to be the cause of an argument.
