Nights in white satin...

[StillMedusa]

Tonight..a revelation...
For at least 30 years I was picturing KNIGHTS wearing white satin as they rode their never ending journey on horseback.

Tonight I realised the truth

My kids are not (rightly) taking the piss out of me!

Oh. Well, I didn't know that either. But I don't have a toaster atm, since I dropped mine putting it away, so I can't try it!

To be fair the songs melody is a bit slow motion horses galloping in my mind. I actually listen to it in the car sometimes when alone

Cotton wool I don't think he's singing about what a great sleep he had

“Nights in White Satin was written by Justin Hayward who got the idea for the song after someone gave him a set of white satin sheets, and wrote it in his bed-sit at Bayswater. "I wrote our most famous song, 'Nights in White Satin' when I was 19. It was a series of random thoughts and was quite autobiographical. It was a very emotional time as I was at the end of one big love affair and the start of another. A lot of that came out in the song."

So it is satin sheets. abandons long (and I mean long) held theory...

OK, I think I know two out of the three Showy mentioned. If it helps at all -

Channel Tunnel - lots of people think/thought that it was a tunnel built through the sea, and didn't realise it was tunnelled through the rock/earth underneath the sea bed.

Baby vests - they've got that wide neck so in a poonami situation you can pull it off the baby's shoulders and down, avoiding getting poo all over their hair etc. Wish I'd realised that one when mine were small.

Toaster - nope, not a frigging clue.

Pineapples was the one that blew my mind. Oh, also cashew nuts. The way they grow is so weird!

Nope - the toaster one doesn't correspond to minutes on mine, I timed the bastard.

It’s a bit racy then isn’t it

Do we need to explain the channel tunnel, baby vests and that crap about toasters too?

And the Elgin Marbles being large shiny egg shaped stones, the Falkland Islands being in Scotland and the petrol symbol for your car telling you which side the petrol goes in (has never been the case in any car I’ve owned)

^this comment does not refer to the toaster thing

X post although point stands

OMG! Add me to the list of fuckwits.
It's so obvious when it's pointed out.

It's Knights. It has to be. 🙄😊

And Center Parcs isn't all under a massive dome like they made out in the original ads. The holiday the weather can't spoil, my arse.

Obviously VERY VERY late to the party, but as a child I thought that too. I can remember being a dreamy drawers imagining knights ♘ in armour with white satin cloaks rescuing beautiful princesses ie me. I was only a baby when it came out and still very young when it was rereleased - my excuse anyway
