I used to believe that when you wanted to watch a TV show, it would wait until you turned the TV on and only start when you were ready.

i used to believe that the tv show "Jim'll fix it" was hosted by Jim'll Saville!

I used to believe…

"The wombles of Wimbledon Common are we" meant that there were loads of them...

I used to believe I'd get glued to the television if I watched it too much, after what my mum said. I literally thought that someone would come up behind me and glue *me* to the television!

I used to believe…

When watching Flash Gordon (the film) my Mum told me that the theme music was by Queen.

For years I thought she meant *the* Queen

I used to believe that my Dad had his dinner every day with Roy Orbison (the albino singer). It was only in later life I discovered that he meant he had his dinner with Roy Orbison records playing on the radio.

I used to believe…

Listening to children's favourites on the radio in the fifties I heard "home on the range" - one of the lyrics was "seldom is heard a discouragin' word." I fretted about why the cowboys wandered around muttering "seldom" in a depressed state!

I used to believe there was a newsreader inside the radio where the light was!!

I used to believe…

My parents used to tell me watching television turns your eyes square.

I used to believe…

My friend, Angela Smith, used to think that you had to take a tablet to get small enough to appear on television! ( I just *knew* that was silly!!!)

I used to believe…

The muppets were REALLY inside the T.V.!
