    If you see a magpie it’s bad luck not to salute and say “good day general.”
    its bad bad luck to open an umbrella indoors.
    also bad luck to hang a horseshoe upside down as all the luck runs out of it.
    bad luck again to place shoes on a table or a hat on your bed.

    Good luck to find a four leafed clover.

    There's no fool like an old fool

    Every dark cloud has a silver lining

    Say rabbit's on the first day of every month that has a 'R' in it before talking to anyone to bring good luck.

    @Dragonslayer as far as I know a black cat crossing your path brings bad luck.
    many a mickle  makes a muckle

    each drop of water wears away the stone.
