When I Was Just A Little Girl...

[Stewart]

When I was just a little girl I asked my mother, what will I be? Will I be pretty? Will I be rich? Here's what she said to me...

I forget now, but it was something in French.

Anyway, point being, when I was little, I thought that the 'olden days', like Victorian days and probably up to the Second World War, actually were black and white. I can't remember when I realised that it was just before color film, but I do remember vividly thinking for a long time whilst little that this was the case.

So, I mentioned this before, maybe even on this forum, I forget, and other people said - 'OMFG mE 2!!1!11!', so I'll just ask; who when a little kid, thought that the olden days really were black and white?

I hope I remember correct and I'm not the only one - I'm sure I remember someone saying it was a common thing.

Oh, and remember, when asked 'D'you wanna be in my gang, my gang, my gang, D'you wanna be in my gang', the answer is not 'oh yeah!' as it once was, it is now a very firm 'No!'

I did

Its good to laugh at yourself

I have the image of the hovis advert emblazoned in my memory...

\o/

I'm very glad - apparently, its quite common, and we were all as foolish in our youth, but until you ask, well... you never know if its just you, do you?

How bout this:

Billy Connolly tells a funny tale about "Away in a Manger....no crib for a bed"

He thought it was the Scottish word for kid "a wain"

"A Wain in a manger"

suits it to be honest

and.....Roming in the Gloaming....

he though a ROMAN was wandering around some place called Gloamin

"A Roman in the Gloamin'"

I didn't think everything was black and white... but I used to have a Black and White TV - circa 1970s. I always thought that if there was something on the TV that was in Black and White - it'd turn into colour on the screen.

I never got the chance to test that theory though, as I never caught any black and white films

Anyway....
Yeah I had that feeling too! It's hard to imagine it all in 65-million colour, with Dolby Digital 5.1 sound!

when I was diagnosed as colourblind, and my mum was crying, I told her not to be sad, I still see colours she never got to as a kid - d'oh!

[klarrix]

I remember i used to think every non-cartoon was happening live, even spaghetti westerns

[Elmo]

i used to think it was black and white then too! sometimes i still do. i find it hard to get my head around something like that since i've ALWAYS thought all you saw during the war was black and white *sigh* i even asked my gran what it was like when the world was black and white, she laughed at me :/

ho hum, i think i'm just "special" :s
