As a child during the war (2nd world war) I remember asking my grandmother where Random was, and saying that there couldn't be much of it left, because it seemed that bombs were dropped there everyday! I also used to read the Co-operative society as the coop-rative socky-etty...

My Dad told me once they kept gorillas under the big drain covers on the pavement in town. I was so scared I used to run as fast as I could past them. It was years before I realised he was having me on.

It was also years before I realised he couldn't make the windscreen washer squirt onto the car windscreen with mind power alone.

My father worked for the BBC and told me (as a little' un) that his job was working Muffin the Mule's back end. I was a believing child and told my teacher, who didn't seem to believe me. Looking back, I can see she probably thought it was a smart answer, but I thought it was true. Cringe.

Yes, lime. Always assumed it was because of the accent but maybe he just said it funny. Where I live now it would be pronounced more like lamb (I'm in Hull, where £9.99 is pronounced naan naanty naan).

for working the back end of Muffin the Mule

My grandmas told me
a) you shouldn't stand on your head, because all your innards would slide up to the top,
b) it was bad for you to wash your hair when you had a period
c) a lady never takes off her pearls

I used to think that everyone had to take it in turn to be the Queen and I was really worried that when it was me I wouldn't know what to do!

Barmaid - there was an episode of casualty in the late 80s/early 90s where someone was seriously injured/killed during a game of squash when the racket went through their neck - maybe that's where your fear of squash came from? It certainly explains mine!
