There might be something in the apple pips thing as they contain cyanide.
Don't pull a funny face as if the wind changes it will stay that way. You only need to look at Gavros and Lee Trundle to see this could well be true.

Never mix the grape and the grain - which is probably why you don't have raisins on toast or grape sandwiches

folkestone. I'm assuming it was bullshit?
Don’t eat/buy fish on a Monday. Sound advice. As back then, when everywhere still closed on Sundays, it had most likely been sitting there for at least two days.

When my son was 4 and while sitting on a very quiet Central Line train (on our way to UP) sitting opposite an old Muslim fella ,he exclaimed "Never,ever trust a man with a beard!!!" He'd got that from his grandmother so I s'pose it's an Old Wives' tale

I did that once when I was a little kid, early 1970s. Though it may have been Bazooka Joe or Golden Nuggets, bubble gum, both of which I was very partial to. You don't want to know the messy details of what happened as a result. But I can assure you, it's not an old wives tale.
More old school playground tales than old wives tales, but does anyone remember when Polo mints, tight jeans, and menthol cigarettes where all supposed to make you sterile?
Another prominent playground claim, around our way at least, was that one (ONE!) JPS Special was enough to make your lungs bleed.
Oh, and if you knew where to look you could find three K's hidden on a Marlboro packet, as they were owned by the Ku Klux Klan.

Don't go swimming until at least (insert random time period) after you have eaten.

When I was a kid I was told never to swallow chewing gum as it is bad for you, always worried me when I inadvertently swallowed it!

This one depends on whether the fruit in question has good or bad AIDS.
