Throwing coins into fountains/water.......

[WDWfan,uk]

Do you have an irresistible urge to throw coins into fountains or wells for good luck?
I was rather amused walking through the outdoor section of a hardware store, seeing one of the tiny fountains/water features for sale, and people had even thrown coins into that :rolleyes:

( ........ I did notice at Centre Parcs that they have had to put up notices asking people not to throw coins into the water as it is harmful to the fish)

I always thought the idea was to try and hit the fish! :)

Somehow, my golf ball has the same urge to chuck itself into the water every time!

LOL

I can't believe that people see a fountain and throw money in - for whatever reason known only to themselves!

One of life's little idiosyncrasies I suppose!

:D :D :D :D

LOL Tim and Shaun :) ........ I knew I could rely on you to give me an in-depth theory as to why people feel the need to throw money into fountains :rolleyes: :)
( ...... it stems from wishing wells doesn't it?)

I always thought it was to bribe the fairies into bringing you good luck.

Now, who said there were no fairies......;)

...... that sounds like a subject for a separate thread Sue ;) !! I hadn't heard that! What do the fairies do with the money :) ?
