Joe - Re 'old nuns tales'
As I recall, these were a fascinating set of fabulates. And given that there are now so few nuns - of any age - around in schools now, I wonder whether their stories are being told by anyone else. Before they cease to circulate, it may be worth noting that at primary school in Yorkshire, I was told about:

The good angel (possibly the same as my guardian angel) who sat on my right shoulder, whilst a devil sat on the left and each prompted the associated set of behaviours;

That Judas has committed suicide by hanging himself on an elder tree and that was why elder won't burn;

That both Jesus and Judas had red hair. (One of the apocryphal gospels says their appearance was so similar that they were mistaken for one another).

Do you know these - or any others?
