    Other urban myths-there are people going around nightclubs deliberately sticking an hiv infected needle into people-and the one about someone drugging a child,dyeing their hair in the toilets ,then abducting them from disneyland,all told to me in good faith.

    really,what a load of codswallop as already stated.

    I think you'll find THAT happened in Meadowhall - the abductors were found about to dress the child into clothes of the opposite gender BUT the police hushed it up to stop copycat cases

    you're quite sure it wasn't bluewater and the mother had hung the child up on a hook outside the toilet cubicle to keep the child out of mischief while she did a wee?

    or is this where we came in? :rotfl:

    Not Meadowhall and Bluewater too? The very same thing happened in M&S at Warrington! It's happening all over.

    They should issue email warnings about these kind of things, you know.

    clearly a gang with the same MO are zipping up and down the country abducting children on a hourly basis

    Another classic myth that used to do the rounds was that someone was leaving needles on cinema seats in paris that had the HIV virus on.This soon escalated into london,new york and every other capital city around the world.
