Since i first saw teh coca cola christmas advert i thought the song they were singing was ' i'm a piece a coming, i'm a piece a coming' althgouh i had no idea why. My brother helpfully corrected me and told me it was hundred things are coming and after dinging that for a while my mum finaly told me and my brother the real words 'holidays are coming' which makes so much more sense although doesn't sound as good in my opinion

When I was very young I watched Doctor Who. The daleks scared me half
to death, and because of their shape I associated them with garbage cans.
Whenever I saw a black garbage can I would scream and run away.

When I lived in California, there was a car dealer, Cal Worthington Ford. Well, the song goes, "If you want a truck or Ford, go see Cal." For the longest time, actuall until I was 24, I believed that the words were, "If you want a pussycow, pussycow." What the heck is a pussycow?

As a child of around 4, my father was a TV repairman, and one day he brought home a new TV manufactured by Marconi. Soon after, a relative commented on the Marconi, and I indignantly retorted "It's not your Coney, it's Dad's Coney!"

oneday, somebody showed me how people make cartoons when i was little. pages of drawing and when u fan the pages, it creates a motion picture/cartoon. so i thereon thought that thats how TV works, you have bundles of papers with picture and it moves then quickly to make motion picture. and thats why TV looking like a big box (then the TV we had was huge) made sense. but news and live program didnt make sense to me.
I used to believe that the songs on the radio were live and the bands were at the radio station performing. I thought the bands would play the same songs again every hour.

I was quite disappointed when I finally watched "The Godfather" - as I grew up I thought the three parts were a chronolgical life story of James Brown.

When I was younger I used to think that where ever you turned off the television is where it would pick up when you turned it back on. I couldn't grasp the idea of the programs continuing after it was turned off.

When I was a little one, I believed that when people where on TV having sex, the real actors were replaced with life-like Robots. I thought it was impossible that a real person would ever take off their clothes off while being filmed, so they had to build robots to do the sex scenes.
I used to believe that inside the television were thousands of little people who at the end of the night when the tv was switched off would come out of a little door on the side and sleep in our cutlery drawer.

When I was watching 'Blue Lagoon', I remarked to my parents how long it must have taken to make the film because they had to wait for the two little children to grow up before they could make the rest of it. The family still get mileage out of repeating this tale.
I used to belive that all the things in the tv are actualy in it.
I used to love Rainbow and much to the amusement of my friends I've only just learnt that George, the pink hippo, was infact male. I thought with the long eyelashes and tiara that George (short for Georgina) was particularly girly. Oh the naivety of youth!

About a year ago, my younger borther said he likes when we stay at our grandma's place, because her TV is bigger than ours. Nothing wrong with that, but his reason for wanting a bigger TV was that grandma's TV fits the whole picture on it. He didn't realise, despite growing up in a house with TV's of varying sizes, that the picture shrinks to fit on the screen.
I thought every song was sung live at the radio station. I used to picture the artists standing on a platform in front of a microphone singing.
