I would say I wasn't superstitious but I do worry a bit if I only see one magpie - you see how we're brainwashed as children!! Have been known to throw salt over shoulder, and if I accidentally put anything on inside out, I am reluctant to change it as it is bad luck!

The theatre thing is true - having worked in rep, to mention the Scottish play by name is to risk total disaster in any theatre, and whistling is definitely out. It's also bad luck to wish anyone good luck in a production, so the usual line is "Break a leg"!
