What nonsense did you believe in as a kid?Ever thought that you could get flushed down the loo? That girls wee out their bottoms? Or that bumming means two men rubbing their bums together? Tell us about your childhood misconceptions. Thanks to Joefish for the suggestion.

My grandad...My grandad had a thin pencil moustache and was (i thought) the spitting image of David Niven. I couldn't quite understand how he spoke with a posh English accent in films rather than his native Geordie and couldn't do so in real life.
He had a cavalry sabre displayed in the entrance hall and every time we would visit he would tell us how he had skewered four Germans on it in one go. Turns out he never left England in the war, but was a fireman & the sword was his brothers.
When we used to sit down on a saturday evening and watch Dad's Army, I always though it said "Have you been watching" at the end. I could never work out why anyone would want to check. Or why there wasn't a question mark.
