There were just fur coats in the wardrobe.

There is no such thing as a secret platform between platforms 9 and 10 at Kings Cross Station.

So many shattered illusions.sad

Does that mean that Maria didn't really make outfits for all of the children from the curtains? Surely that must be true? shock

I'm off to ask the Tooth Fairy..........they know everything!!!

I have never watched The Sound of Music, mainly because it seemed all sugary sweet and not to my taste. If what you say is true, I should have enjoyed a film depicting the real story.

And Bergerac was certainly not a Jersey man…

No, no, no😱. That would be the ultimate spoiler to ens ll spoilers. AI, hacking or fake news surely 😥

Someone told me once that Dick van Dyke wasn't really a Cockney. Of course, I didn't believe her.

Honestly, the fibs some people will tell just to get attention.

Don’t believe it fancy flowers. Don’t you know about Fake News? There’s a lovely almost President in America, I’m sure he could reassure you. Some Bad People just tell fibs.
We have all seen the movie, some of us have been to Siund of Music singalongs in costume so we Know The Truth

Thanks for that reassurance, Iam64.

I’ll sleep much better now.👏👏

PS, Mary Poppins umbrella let her down.

Allira Sat 09-Nov-24 22:33:20

You'll be telling me Mary Poppins isn't real next! 😯

Ha ha, I actually like the idea of a feisty Maria hurling pottery around, the Maria in The Sound of Music is too good to be true, which of course is why you found out that it isn't true.

😂😂😂

I like her more now!

How do you solve the problem of Maria? 🤔
Throw something back at her?

You don't, GMB.

If you believe this thread, you will know that Maria is beyond redemption.

Wait until you find out the truth about Mary Poppins. Is very upsetting.

Marydoll Sat 09-Nov-24 21:03:31

You really are horrible people. I am was a believer! I am broken.😭

Visgir1 Sat 09-Nov-24 21:00:36

That info has been around for many years. I don't think it's fake?

merlotgran Sat 09-Nov-24 20:58:35

Don’t believe it. Next they’ll be telling you Father Christmas isn’t real.

I have been too, to the Sing-along, all dressed up, but at that time I did not know anything of the awful truth.

Oh, I forgot. Apparently Maria was not all sweetness and light - she was well known for her terrible temper and for screaming and throwing the crockery about. How can I bear all this?

fancyflowers Sat 09-Nov-24 20:43:38

I have been watching (for the nth time) The Sound of Music, which I first saw in the sixties. When I did a bit more digging, I found that Maria was not engaged as a governess to all the Von Trapp children but as a tutor to one of them.
Even worse! They did not escape over the mountains, toting guitars and singing. They got the train into Switzerland, just like anyone would do.
This is all so traumatic. I don't know if I will sleep tonight.
