daft things you thought as a bairn

Polski Slepp m8

I thought Penrith was in Cornwall.

the one in cumbria or the one in australia??

The one in Cumbria, are you not thinking of Perth?

there was a phone number for hollywood and i just had to find it. im pretty sure i tried a random number at some point from a payphone, without putting any cash in.

nope theres defo a penrith too. they played in the rugby league thing years back. when down under teams played english ones.

Was surprised when I learned they had moved Skegness from Scotland to East Angular.

Wouldn't say I was a mucky kid myself but up until the age of about 7 or 8 I (genuinely) thought that when they grew to a certain length, fingernails turned black at the ends.

As a child I was taught the Police were honest,what a lie that was,bunch of crooks

i thought walsall was in poland. when my local team of soccerballers played walsall, i thought we were "playing in europe"

the majority of people in Walsall are Polish so you wasn't that daft after all

i used to eat my bogies

and think it was healthy.

ha ha he he ho ho a shocking omission

I used to think Ullapool was in Wales and Haverfordwest was, well, in the West Country. Not sure either qualifies as being daft, so I'll get me coat.

The world used to be in black and white, Sheffield United were brilliant, the Rocky movies were documentaries.

i used to think all those things too!

Penrith is in New South Wales, not too far from Sydney.. They have a harness racing track there.

fart

I used to think that people that were working were better off than people on the dole!

I used to think Elvis Presley was singing about "Devil in the skies" instead of "Devil in Disguise."

Girls were sugar n spice and all things nice.....mmmmmmmm

I used to think how did they build dams with all that water there.

As a nipper I used to think pop stars, DJ's and media personality in general were honest, upright people. Was soon cured of that delusion. Bunch of selfish, egotistical crooks and liars.

I thought a "Male Voice Choir" was a "Male Boys Choir"!

Also "wardrobe" was "wardrove"

and "Handbag" was "Hambag".

I also thought that women had girls and men had boys!

If i gambled it was a fast track road to better things

I used to think a year was a long time.

Your not alone on that one

my younger brother thought that jehovah witnesses were shampoo salesmen
(advert on telly at time mid 70's for jojoba shampoo)

when youre a kid a year seems like forever. when you hit 40 you think "holy crap, in 20 years i'll be 60"

I genuinely believed that if I practised enough, jumping off the wall and flapping my arms, I would eventually learn how to fly.

Never worked

I thought guerrilla warfare was Gorillas shooting at humans

If betfair paid me a fiver a time for posting pointless threads i could come up with much better.

I thought I was the second coming, not so sure now.

I thought meat was raw if you didn't put salt on it.

I didn't know much about cooking.

What is your weird obsession with FARTS erse? it's most peculiar ?

when I was a lad I was convinced it was not a football "derby" match unless derby county were one of the teams playing in the game.
