traditions?

[cazzz1975]

Are there any traditions that you still do that were done by previous generations?

[amonty1144]

yes, I get slaughtered on a saturday night in front of the telly...

[Bellringer]

Quite a few. But by now I am almost a previous generation anyway.

Well I have used grate blacking.

Not too recently.

And not on the grate .....

eat together at table every eve.
cook good food, with fresh ingredients
everything else has been lost.

[spudqueen]

Like radiogaga we eat at the dining table as a family every night, and I cook my own meals, only having ready meals once every two or three months.
Even though I'm not a church goer (or even believe in religion) we don't eat meat on Good Friday.

I will always pay my repect toa passing funeral by either raising my hat if I`m wearing one or holding my lapel collar if I`m not. A great pity this old custom appears to have also died.

Yes, I hold doors open for other people, I stick to my place in a queue (remember them?), I throw litter into those bin things, I indicate when I want to change my car's direction, and I use expressions like "please" and "thank you".

[Erdinger]

Caring and loving the 'missus' well, most of the time.....

[bensmum]

Like delboy I say please and thankyou, I will give up a seat to someone who needs it more than me, I don't use my mobile while talking to someone else, etc. etc. Not exactly traditions but seemingly lost arts nowadays.

In case anyone's forgotten, there's still Christmas and the New Year.
