We Name and Shame the Guilty Parties

Strange beliefs



True, or not?

When you spend most of your life dealing with the sadness of other people's plights, it's a relief to publish something a little more light-hearted. So here are some thought-provoking beliefs that many people accept as facts. What do you think?

Some of them may even bring a smile to your face.

  • At the end of every party there is always a girl crying
  • You're never quite sure whether it's ok to eat green crisps.

  • Rummaging in an overgrown garden always turns up a bouncy ball.
  • You always feel a bit scared when stroking horses.

Really good! I thought I was the only one who thought these things. I've had 3 injured swans and they really are cowards; they hiss a lot but rarely attack unless breeding. But I believe they COULD break a bone.
We also owned several stallions over the years but I do feel scared when stroking other people's horses. I do run out of salt and I am grateful that I did not turn into my father! CJ, Pembs
