"This doesn't not have to be a champagne cork but it does need to be from a bottle. When a bottle is shared and the occasion is a happy one, take the cork from the bottle, making a wish that the pleasure you feel at this happy event is repeated, placing a coin in a slit on the top of the cork as you do so. Sleep with the cork under the pillow and then place it in your pocket for the next day. Rub the cork any day thereafter (it's advisable not to rub the cork too vigourously as this may elicit looks of disgust from passers-by) whenever you wish to hear from the people that shared the bottle with you. Do not wish for love, but rather, continuing happiness; corks symbolise buoyancy, not love".
The above was posted on h2g2 in 2002 (http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A735789) and I am very keen to track down the original source of this text/information. Does anybody know ??
Many thanks

Hello there Idris,
Many apologies for the late reply but I have been on leave.
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to this - Ask h2g2 A148907 might be a better place to pose this question though. A lot of people will see it there. (As opposed to here!)
Sorry I can't be of more help!
