What daft things have dawned on you later in life?

I think I was well in to my twenties when I found out "sticky backed plastic" was Sellotape that Blue Peter presenters obviously couldn't say. I always pondered where you could find this mythical sounding stuff... And yes even when I WATCHED it and clearly saw them using frigging Sellotape, I just thought it was something else

Slightly more serious. When playing football at junior school (89-91-ish) we used to chant or just make noise to put off whoever was taking a penalty. Many years later, I realised that we were making monkey noises.

Sticky backed plastic was the sticky vinyl sheets they used to use to cover stuff in, fablon I think was the trade name. they use to call sellotape sticking tape. They also used 'sweet tubes' which everybody knew used to contain smarties.poing said:

If you were posh you used fablon to cover your school books, old wallpaper did then job if you were normal.
