My most gullible momentSomeone once told me that gullible wasn't in the dictionary and I went, "yeah yeah ha ha" but when they were gone that didn't stop me checking. What was YOUR most gullible moment? Zero points for buying an icon on b3ta.

Gullible young CumbriansJust remembered this one on the way home this afternoon coming home through Ulverston, Cumbria.
All of those who know the area will know that there is a pretend light house on the top of Hoad Hill. As a small child my dear father had me convinced that there was a man who lived under the lighthouse and through cycling(?) raised the light house up and down. (Which it does do).
Took years to realise that it's the many hills that we travelled over that caused the lighthouse to rise and fall. Oh dear and I get let out on my own now.

hah, the hoadi'm from barrow, and every time we went through ulverston when i was a kid my dad would tell me that it was a real lighthouse, because the whole area used to be underwater. he told the story far better than i did though.
oh, and when it was foggy he used to tell me that they'd taken it down for cleaning. (and i know people who still use that one on their kids)
