The MacDonald's one with the Chicken Sandwich

Two of my friends are store managers in McD's and although your probably referring to cum (which probably is a myth), they tell me that alot more people than you would think have lost they're jobs down the years due to them meddling with food. I'll leave it at that.

I've heard this one a few times growing up in North Manc.
Heard of Daisy Nook? Well the story goes that in the 70's one night a woman was driving down the steep hill at Daisy Nook, then as she came to the bottom of it she heard a bang. She parks up, gets out and looks to see if she'd hit anything. Nothing. She gets back in the car and pulls away only to see the car behind her flashing her furiously. Before she has time to think about it she's stabbed in the neck and dies. Someone had got in the car after she'd pulled over. Ooooooerrrrrrrrrr!!!!

Used to shit me up that tale as a kid.

I live near there not heard that, but wouldnt suprise me especially if the fair was on & it was 1 of the gypos!!

Not sure if its the one your talking about but there was a couple who wanted to have their wedding at Alton towers and had it all booked and everything. Then they are told the Beckhams want to book the whole park for their sons birthday party and that the beckhams will offer them 5,000 for it.
The couple say no and the next week they are offered 10,000, they turn this down.
Then they are offered 50,000! And they happily take it and change their booking to the next week.
This one is actually true, my mum overhead the bride in question and another woman talking about it in the what was illy café in selfridges.

1960's Manchester. Old bloke reversing a roller into a parking spot outside the grand when a couple of kids nip into his spot in a mini. He gets out and asks them to move it and the kids say 'sod off grandad you're too slow'. . As the kids walk away they hear a crunching sound and look baxck to see that the old boy had backed his roller into the space and crushed the mini up against a lamp post.

Kids run back to kick off with the old boy and he says . . . you might be quick but I'm fuckin' rich so take a hike or I'll make a call and have you exterminated you little shits.

Rumour was that he was quality street if you get my drift.

Heard it from lots of different people but not sure if it's true or not. Made me want to be a big fat rich bastard when I get old . . I'm halfway there - already a fat bastard but still waiting to get rich!
