Are there any things that you thought were fact but turned out to be rubbish?

For some time I thought that Josh Saviano (Paul from The Wonder Years) became Marilyn Manson - until I realised the dates don't add up.

Did that say Monroe before editing or did I imagine it?

Could have been a calamitous boob,appropriate for Marilyn Monroe.

Not a fact as such but a pronunciation.

I was in my 30s before I realised that I had got it all wrong and portakabin was not pronounced portaka-bin.

Mr. Papworth at Castle Hill Junior once had an eight year old girl in tears because he had hauled her out in front of class and made her repeat the word 'column' until she said it without pronouncing the n as a separate syllable.

Driving out from Castlebar in Ireland looking for a road towards Shannonbridge and asking my then girlfriend whose family are from Kilkenny - 'that sign said At Henry to the left, is that the right way?'

After five minutes of her saying there was no At Henry on the map and me saying 'Well, the lettering was big so it must be a sizeable town' it finally dawned on her that I had seen a sign for Athenry..

My dad filled my sister and I full of amusing lies throughout our childhood, of the 'When the ice cream van is playing music it means they've run out' variety. Even now something we thought was true occasionally catches us out and makes us look stupid.

My sister was in her mid-30's when one of her friends had to gently explain that actually no, it isn't illegal to write a cheque on a Sunday.

When I first went to study in Sheffield, the buses had a bit of string running from the ceiling and I thought it was an emergency break cord. Turned out it was to ring the bell for the next stop.

My mates told me, but I thought they were trying to get me in trouble (You get a fine for pulling the emergency stop on a train for no good reason)

Took me about 3 days of missed stops before I plucked up the courage to pull it.

I thought that Mick McCarthy was going to cease to be Ipswich Town manager just over a week ago. Then I thought the same thing today as well.

For years I kept confusing Jenny Seagrove with Jenny Agutter. I still don't know which one was in An American Werewolf in London.

The Agutter in American Werewolf. I think you are going to have to get a little less choosy as you mature. I would in an instant - but that might just the nun's habit getting me going.

I can remember driving on a motorway and wondering why someone had put a warning sign out which simply said "Smiles". About five miles further down the road I discovered some roadworks.
