Hi,

George Bernard Shaw once said the British and Americans are: " Two Peoples separated by a common language". How true...

In the UK, the expression to describe one's not tempting Fate is Touch Wood, while here in the US, we say Knock on Wood.

So, You're both correct depending upon where on the Planet you're standing
when you say it...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
