Lies Your Parents Told YouI once overheard a neighbour use the phrase "nig nog". I asked my father what it meant. As quick as a flash he said, "It's a type of biscuit. A bit like a hobnob." Can you beat this? BTW: We're keeping this thread open for an extra week as we're enjoying the stories so much.

SkeggyAs a kid we'd lived in a little village in Spain which had once been a fishing village but the harbour had silted up and the village was left some distance from the sea. When we first went to Skegness the tide was out - my dad told me that Skeggy had once been at the seaside but it had silted up - I had no reason to disbelieve him as we left before the tide came in - I was in my late teens before I discovered the truth....BTW nig nog biscuits are real - I have an old cook book with the recipe - and they are rather good too.
