To want to know something you wrongly believed was true all your life ?

Posting to try and take our minds off bad things for a moment
I'm in my fifties someone on here posted about a "Party wall" a few weeks ago, I laughed because I thought they were mistaken, I have always thought the word for a wall between two properties was "Parting wall"
How did I not know ??
Also over the years when I've watched, usually men taking off the tops of beer bottles with their hands on US programmes.
I may or most definitely may have tried to do this myself not realising they have twisty tops in the US.
You ?

Not sure why I put that ? there 🤣

I always thought the motoring guy on TV had a weird name - Tiffney Dell...

I believed -(didnt question it)that i got blonde hair because i was born in a different hospital from both sisters(who have dark hair).
the channel tunnel thing-just blew my mind!!!!!!!! wow!

@tolerable
Don't worry I think we need a support group here now for the channel tunnel thing 😳

Are all the people who thought the channel tunnel went through the sea quite young? It was huge on TV when the two tunnels met in the middle and they shook hands

@ineedsun
No definitely not young
I remember the footage why would that prove they were completely underground?

Genuinely shocked that people thought the channel tunnel went through water. They dug it out, if it was through water what would it they dig.

Stupid maybe but I'm definitely not young😎

I still thought this until I read your reply! 😶

For many years I thought that Psalm 23 referred to 'in Partridge Green he leadeth me'.

It's a village in Sussex.

I thought for several years that Masterchef was present by “Jonty Rhodes” (actually John Torode).
I may also, like the pp, have been somewhat confused about how chicks are conceived 😳 and thought the rooster did something vaguely rude in the vicinity of the eggs.
Oh.. and of course hyperbole rhymes with super bowl!

@SpiderVersed
I’m definitely not your brother 😂
I’m from Liverpool - maybe it’s a Scouse thing?!

I used to think that "Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow" meant that Mickey had grown up inside a cow, possibly up the cow's bottom, which seemed very upsetting.

This is exactly what I was thinking. I remember that moment when they broke through.

As a teen I may have thought for a while that there was an actor called Rayley Otter (RIP)

Because they wouldn't be digging a tunnel through water?

There are tunnels like that though, but not the Channel Tunnel. The Medway Tunnel in Kent and one in Conwy are “immersed tube tunnels”.

In 'You're having a giraffe' the giraffe is cockney rhyming slang for 'laugh' .

I remember that! It was all over the TV at the time.

I genuinely used to think (up until quite recently in fact) that stool softener was something that softened the wood on old fashioned stools making it more comfortable to sit down on…😬🤣

@JudgementalRaccoon - it has to be a Scouse thing! My nan taught the words to my mum, and my nan was from Everton.

Hmm I actually have well diggers in my ancestry they definitely did dig through water.

This is just the best!

I have many Well diggers in my ancestry
They definitely dug through water
Weird thing to out myself with but hey how shrugs

I’m in my sixties.

For most of my life I thought the Musketeer D’Artagnan was “Dartanian.”

I thought D’Artagnan was Armenian. 🙄
