Fizz :-) Oct 2020 9:33pm, 13 Oct 2020 4,483 posts	Quote Pin Fizz :-) Just because we only ever holidayed on the South coast, didn’t mean all seaside resorts were there. Blackpool is not on the South coast. (Aged 20) There are two (at least) Watfords, Watford Gap/Village (Northants) and Watford Town (Herts). The town I grew up in was midway between the two, so we were both North AND South of Watford. (Aged 17)

Surrey Phil Oct 2020 9:36pm, 13 Oct 2020 5,042 posts	Quote Pin Surrey Phil I often watched war films at a friend's house when I was in primary school. For some reason I mistook the American War of Independence for a 'play-off' to decide whether the USA or Britain won the Second World War.

Serendippily Oct 2020 10:04pm, 13 Oct 2020 19,285 posts	Quote Pin Serendippily The fact or the ignorance Dio? I had an argument with MrS about 2 years ago because he said 19yo were teenagers but 12yo weren’t. Turns out he was right
