People getting baffled as to how they have managed to catch a cold when the weather's been warm is what's prompted this! Another I used to be told when I was a kid was I'd catch cold if I went out with my hair still wet from getting out of the bath!
All that quaint country folklore. e.g. The one about being able to tell if it's going to rain depending on whether the cows are standing up or sitting down. Complete arse gravy. Red sky at night, absolute ****e. etc.
