I was brought up in England near a golf course which had a stream running through it, into which I fell one day, and it was very cold. When I was about 4 my mother told me that the "golf" stream kept England warm which I could not credit as it was so small and so cold. Not for years did i realise that she had said the "gulf" stream.
