Things you really should have known sooner...

[TheDodgyEnd]

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’m enjoying these they make me feel less silly. I’m sure I have plenty more - I did know someone who thought Iraq was somewhere between Birmingham and Wales

I taught a class of 12/13 year olds last week. Half of them genuinely didn't realise that ducks can fly (having only mostly seen them swimming or waddling about pecking for bread I suppose?!)

@StrongerThanIThought76 I only learned this much later than I should have!!!

Also my sister only realised when she called my grandma worthless that it’s not the same thing as priceless!

I also didn't knowtill today that cape verde was in Africa ithought it was an island off the south of France

I didn't know Casablanca was a real place until recently.

Thought it was just for the film. Like Narnia or Westeros.

Until recently I thought penguin was pronounced PINGuin. Still don't quite believe it.

Erm I thought capers were tiny Fish —off to google what are capers—

Where’s my struck out thing gone!!!! Why’s is it now working help

You are thinking of anchovies capers are not green peppercorns either 😕

test

fucking iOS 11 and auto punctuation

MrsJay you are correct I just googled and then suddenly realised I did know that 🤦🏼‍♀️

Capers are their own thing I thought they were peppercorns

How to use an iron

That Portsmouth is an Island. Since when?!

About everything?

I used to think capers were fish too!

The following always comes up

Pineapples grow on the ground in big fields

It's hang gliding NOT hand gliding

Also my sister only realised when she called my grandma worthless that it’s not the same thing as priceless!

Brilliant!

And MissFlashpants - I'm curious: what did you think 'misled' meant then?

Oh, I know someone who thought broccoli grew on actual trees. Not a child, an adult in their 20's.

Not really another 'didn't know', more a silly 'didn't connect' one. I completely missed in Game of Thrones that Bran is probably called what he is, because it's Welsh for raven. Read all the books and watch up to about series 3 until the dots connected .

I thought Freddy Flintoff and Andrew Flintoff were brothers, or cousins. I actually thought one was better looking than the other. My cricket loving DH was astonished

I was well into my teens before I realised that unicorns weren't simply extinct

Batty me too up until freddie started appearing on telly programmes I thought Freddie &Andrew were brothers 😀 tbf I don't follow cricket but still what a numpty

‘Pinguin’ sounds vair vair posh!

@CakeyHoohaa whaaaa???
