I used to believe that the country then called Upper Volta (now Burkina Faso) was a hydroelectric power station.
A childhood belief about places
others believed things like this
- that Newport power station was where clouds were made. My dad is a known liar.— Lydia
- I have always lived very near to a power station, and I used to believe it was a cloud making machine.— Kirsty Martindale
- As a child i was under the impression that the huge power station chimneys were cloud makers.— scruffyoik
- I used to belive that John Travolta's name is Johntra Volta— Maria
- I use to believe the sound that a car made when it was running low on gas was what they called horse power...— Bianca
- I used to think the Black Country region in the UK was called that because everyone lived in darkness there.— K
