I feel this should stay in Wikipedia - it's a well-known ritual in the UK. Davidbod 15:18, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree... hence the assessment above .... however there must be more to say about this. Find the history. Which books is it in? Victuallers 15:23, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

Round my social cicles, the birthday bumps involve punching them on the arm really hard as many times as their age in years. 80.175.115.81 15:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Although I've lived in the UK all my life (south west London, in fact) I've never seen the Bumps given at school, only at home. Not seen the arm-punching one either, although "pinch, punch, first day of the month" was common in some schools I went to. The punching version may exist because it could be given by one person, and doesn't require a large group. Pippin 00:14, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
