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.

So you're claiming that the Queen turned up "incognito" to visit her godmother who died over 20 years earlier?

Akshally she only died in 1961.So it does fit the story.

Who were you thinking of?

probably the one with the name 'elphinstone'as opposed to 'bowes lyon'

And no, this is actually true. The stuff I make up is far less esoteric (although looking at the dates, it may have been her daughter). Or maybe I just knew that Elphinstone was the name of the Queen's godmother because she brought it up the other day whilst we were parked up in Aldi's car park in my brother's Accord?

IndeedCecilia was her grandmother and godmother, Mary was her aunt and godmother.
