In some parts of the UK seeing two or three Ravens together is considered really bad. One very English superstition is about the tame Ravens at the Tower of London. It is believed if they leave then the crown of England will be lost.Not a bad thing i think :P

Bad luck to pass someone else on the staircase. This superstition is based on the Architecture of old English Castles with spiral staircases - The staircases were thin, with no barriers, the step width on the inside much thinner than the outside and people had a habit of being accidentally knocked over the edge by the person they were passing.

Walking under a ladder - somebody told me it was because you are breaking through the holy trinity by walking through the triangle made by the ladder, the wall and the ground. Personally I think its because you're likely to get a pot of paint on your head!

Unlucky to put new shoes on a table. Unlucky to whistle in a theatre dressing room, or to wish the actors "good luck".
Lucky for a black cat to cross your path, or to see a chimney sweep (they're often invited to weddings to bring good luck) (sweep not cat)!

You shouldn't cross knives on a plate. I think this may have something to do with the way they look like crossed swords - indicating bloodshed.
