Ooops!..I got that wrong

Mark Cummings | 12:08 UK time, Wednesday, 26 January 2011

Some of us have learned a harsh lesson this week. We've been spelling the word dilemma wrong most of our lives...so what other things have we got wrong over the years? Here are some of the comments from Wednesday's show.

Angela says years ago she was on holiday in Spain and booked a trip to Gibraltar... she was really surprised that she stayed on the bus...she thought she needed a boat to get to the island.

Elaine wrote...When I first moved to Gloucestershire I used to listen to another radio station and for the first 5 years of living here I thought that there was a bit of a traffic hotspot at the 'ebloon' roundabout. I then got a job in Wiltshire and had to drive through this area where the roundabout was... I then realised it's the 'Air Balloon Roundabout'

Mark in Stroud always thought that Maidenhead was by the sea and had a pier ... and not inland!

Any confessions would be great! Email: cummings@bbc.co.uk

    Very understandable about the 'Air Balloon'. It is an unusual name for a pub - and I had heard it was originally the 'Anne Boleyn' - and that name metamorphosised over the centuries to the current name.
