    My missus salutes magpies and says "Hi Sir" whenever she sees a lone one. More than one, or two people seeing one, is fine apparently. Tch, some people....
    Thanks.. my mother always used to greet a solitary magpie with a "good morning Mr Magpie, where is Mrs Magpie today"

    Bloody hell! Mrs W. salutes magpies too, (doesn't call them "Sir" though).

    Aparently a lone one is bad luck as per the old "Magpie" TV theme tune; "one for sorrow, two for joy, three for a girl, four for a boy, five for silver, six for gold, seven for a secret never to be told . . . Ma . . a . . a . . ag . . pie".

    Ahem, alledgedly.

    Good reason for it. One magpie on its lonesome is generally a sign that there is something wrong with the locality. They're scavengers and if there's nothing for them to eat then things are real bad...

    When I were a lad you used to see lots of white dog turds- don't seem to see them now-a-days. Wonder why?

    We only have one drain at a time up here - is this another north/south divide thing again you drain mungerring fascists?
    Ah, it's a long time since I heard that word - mungerring. A verb, meaning "to take it up the tulipter" , not to be confused with the word "mongering".
