Weean Oct 2020 8:26am, 15 Oct 2020 1,481 posts	Quote Pin Weean As a small-town Scot, I was 14 before I realised that pizzas were not designed to be deep fried. (Obviously those Findus french bread pizzas went in the oven, but they weren't authentic, were they?)
Love Lettuce Oct 2020 8:42am, 15 Oct 2020 1,487 posts	Quote Pin Love Lettuce TMW I made that discovery about setting the timer on the washing machine last month! It wasn't until I lived in Leeds in my 20s that I learnt what side of the border some places are. I'd always assumed that Carlisle was in Scotland because it 'sounds like it should be' (don't ask me why).

halfpint Oct 2020 3:40pm, 15 Oct 2020 32,787 posts	Quote Pin halfpint I might have to stop looking at this thread. At age 42 I’ve learned Pontefract is not a Welsh town.
