Geography not her strong point
At the start of the war, my Gran decided to move her family out of the danger of London, and go and stay with relatives. In Southend. So, closer to Germany and pretty much directly under the direct flight path between Berlin and London.

She only ever had a nodding acquaintance with reality, to be honest. She would claim that her grandfather was a highwayman and her grandmother was an Egyptian princess. Which makes tracing the family tree rather difficult, since it's clearly arrant nonsense.

In fairness
The German's wouldn't have bombed southend. It would have raised British morale too much
