Things you really should have known sooner...

I’ve just learned that Casablanca is not in South America at all and is, in fact in Morocco! Who knew 🙄🤦🏼‍♀️
Anyone else got any tidbits they learned far too late in life?

I thought this little piggy went to market was telling us he was going shopping .

I also thought tigers were lady 🦁

There's one place in the northern hemisphere where penguins live...

Well, there's quite a few zoos....

Bagpipes can be tuned.

So why does no one ever do it??

Wait strongasmereinge) sorry spelt your name wrong!) Where was the pig going?!

Also bold fail 😑

@Gammeldragz. Just told dh and he said there is someone called Gilbert O'Sullivan but also Gilbert and Sullivan are two singers.

Peanut2017 I'm Irish and I say bread and butter but I was just saying it out loud here and my 2 eldest sons said no Mam it's roast beef I mean where did they get that from?????

DH thought that several meant seven. I told him to buy me several kiwis and he asked why I needed 7. I said I don’t need 7, I just need 3 or 4. He said then why did you say several? I said several means a few. He said no it means 7. He was shocked when I googled the definition for him.

Me - Bagpipes can be tuned

@rslsys - So why does no one ever do it??

I know, right?!!

@coughingbean he was going to market to be slaughtered.

Until a couple of years ago I didn’t know that birds had sex. As a child I was told that the female laid soft eggs and the male fertilised them. I just excepted this and never questioned it. Due to this I also believed you could get square eggs if you got the egg early enough and put it in a box. I recounted this story to my DH and our friends over dinner genuinely believing it to be true. They nearly wet themselves laughing. I swear they constantly threaten to tell people.

@CompletelyUnknown I love that. How many friends were there to witness this?

My husband and 2 of our friends. They regularly cluck at me when we are in company and laugh.

I still think Santorini is somewhere in Italy.

There's one place in the northern hemisphere where penguins live...

Well, there's quite a few zoos....

And the Galapagos. But not near the North Pole.

I expect they'd be able to cross north at some point, but they'd be quickly eliminated by any polar bears. The North Pole is not very friendly to flightless birds. Their only hope of crossing over is if polar bears become extinct.

I just excepted this

Hopefully, you already know that it should be accepted, and that was a typo.

My friend was visiting from Australia She saw a badger and was shocked, she thought they were mythological creatures like unicorns and fairies

Meringue :)

In my embarrassed need to confess my massive egg mistake I didn’t proof read. I’ve tried to block it from my memory. I’ll need to accept my error in judgement. Always proof read no exceptions.

And the Galapagos. But not near the North Pole. There is a technicality here because Galapagos is right bang on the equator. Most of the islands where the penguins are fall in the south. For the place as whole it both south and north.

I knew some clever clogs would mention zoos, but Galapagos was the answer I was looking for. I'm sure when I checked this a couple of years ago, I convinced myself that there will be some Galapagos penguins just north of the Equator.

Um, until two minutes ago and a look at Google maps, I thought the Galapagos islands were somewhere completely different!

And another one I’ve just remembered. (slightly worrying the amount I’m coming up with) I was at least 16 when I learned that Schweppes isn’t pronounced
‘scooch-weppers’

"If pontetrct was in wales in would be pontyfract hehe"

I think it would be pontyffract. One F would be a V sound.

Sade is a band??
