Everyone who grew up in the 80’s has entered the digits 55378008 into a calculator.

Prodding a fire with a stick makes you feel manly.

Rummaging in an overgrown garden will always turn up a bouncy ball.

You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.

Everyone always remembers the day a dog ran into your school.

The most embarrassing thing you can do as schoolchild is to call your teacher mum or dad.

The smaller the monkey the more it looks like it would kill you at the first given opportunity.

Some days you see lots of people on crutches.

Despite the overt Britishisms, most of these are accurate for me. I’m not sure what the swan and banana ones are about though.

Well I don’t like bananas, but I guess it is about putting something roughly the shape of your dangly bits into your mouth feeling dirty.

And the swan thing comes from an old wives tale - don’t go near a swan or it’ll break your leg.

Well, I don’t live anywhere near a swan, but one of my geese broke my wrist. Never try to check a goose’s eggs when she doesn’t want you to. I mean, the eggs she’s sitting on…trying to hatch them. never mind.
