did you know that if you drop one (or both) of your gloves it is considered 'bad luck' to pick it up again yourself? someone else must pick it up and hand it to you (according to my mum). maybe this is why so there are so many odd gloves knocking about? has anyone else heard of this or do you think my mum is going 'cuckoo'?

i've not heard of that before.

i do like the idea of your mum going 'cuckoo' though. if she's got her own watch she could get a job as a novelty clock !
