Can remember when i was a kid mum used to stick a plate out on new years eve and the first person who came in HAD to have dark hair. On the plate was a piece of coal (and when we had the gas fire fitted - the gas bill!), glass of whisky, a mince pie and 5p. It was supposed to bring luck into the house for the new year.
So who first footed last night? I forgot all about it until my bro just come in about half an hour ago.
