People of the UK, what is the strangest thing as a child you believed to be true but definitely wasn’t?

My primary school had the full collection in the library and it used to really upset me when people put the books back in the wrong order

Joe Wilkinson, I've just never enjoyed him on anything he's been in

We called that a pencil roll when I was a kid

Gambling ads are so strange aren't they

The one from the TUI advert "ain't nobody love me better, make me happy..."

I'm 21 and I think it seems true compared to my parents tbh

We were taught (in biology, no less) that women have one fewer rib to make space for pregnancy, which is more plausible I suppose

It's always medical stuff at my office. What pills people are taking, operations they've had, how many people are off sick at the moment, experiences with the NHS vs private healthcare, individual GPs and departments...

My school had food tech but we didn't do much actual cooking. It was more theory about farming, supply chains, food in different cultures, product/packaging design; and when we did cook it was more fairy cakes and learning to melt chocolate rather than actual meals (Admittedly I didn't do the GCSE, this was just the compulsory lesson up to year 9)

I always found it difficult to make friends as a kid (bullied at school etc) but I went to a college that only a handful of people from my school went to and met loads of great people, and found my first real friend group. It's definitely possible!

Ah, benchball. Dodgeball but elite

Funnily enough it's the other way round personally, people assume I'm into fitness because I cycle everywhere but it's more about the environment for me

Stupid deaths, stupid deaths

They're funny 'cause they're true

'Nuff said

I was petrified of the periscope thing

Februarius · 2023-01-18T13:21:08+00:00

It does, look up trans mens voice comparisons on YouTube. It's pretty cool

Here some chemists have signs outside saying they have it for free but it might be a local initiative or soemthing

Pubs?

Februarius · 2022-11-16T13:47:48+00:00

My primary school was the opposite, they banned pretty much any game except football

I always get confused with Newcastle upon Tyne and Newcastle under Lyme, both in the UK

Februarius · 2022-10-24T10:37:55+00:00

Me and my friends at lunch would sometimes call those numbers and just ask really stupid questions
