YOUR BEST BLONDE MOMENTS: Mon Dieu! Où est la France?

"My geography's always been terrible but if manage to keep it to myself for years.

Until, at work one day, when I was looking at a map of the world on wall and noticed that in the place I assumed France should be – to the right of England –there was a huge expanse of blue.

Panicking, I searched around until I spotted France underneath England, obviously where it had always been.

In my shock I squealed, 'Oh my God! France isn't where it should be!' Unfortunately, that meant the whole office realised I'd managed to reached 28 without knowing where France is.

They were horrified, and for my next birthday they bought me an Atlas. I'm still embarrassed thinking about it now!"
