I once had to explain
that canals weren't just naturally straight rivers. Same person thought that:

- The World is exactly 2012 years old
- Gordon Brown was the last member of the SNP to be British PM ('Well, he's Scottish, so he wouldn't be a member of Labour')
- England invented the flag. No one else had flags before England. Everyone just copied the idea.
- The London Underground was built in the 80s. Before then, people had to get buses or walk, but it didn't matter so much because London was a quarter of it's present size (and there's absolutely no point saying it is from the 19th century as they didn't have trains back then)
- Paris is the UK's official second city
- Peter Andre is the UK's wealthiest man
- If a plane flew into a cloud too quickly, it would be like hitting a brick wall, which is why Concorde was dangerous
- it is illegal for an employer to sack any employee unless they have been convicted of a criminal offence
- John Lennon is the only surviving member of the Who (yes, you read that right)
