send 3 and fourpence, we're going to a dance.

Was that an early 'You've won the Canadian Lottery send me £20 and I'll let you know how to claim your winnings' scam?

no it was what happens to
send reinforcements we are going to advance
after repeated tellings.
Demonstrating the unreliability of anecdotal evidence.

Not necessarily so. I have no reason to doubt the word of my grandad and as my dad is in his mid-sixties he has no reason to big up his own dad to me. Unfortunately my Grandad passed some 30 years ago so not much chance of asking him directly.

Lots of stories confirm this(was told it was Piccadilly station), to Dave P it was only Manchester this happened
One of them was Dougie Flood i think who was well known around Moston/Harpurhey

There was a Gang's programme on one of the crime channels , they interviewed one of the originals of the QSG and he said the Krays were staying at the Midland Hotel , got a visit and told to go back home , which they did.

I did not say it was only in Manchester. I simply passed comment in relation to their apparent visit TO Manchester. It could easily have happened elsewhere, but as I wasn't around in those days I don't really give one either way !!
 
How about the one where that lad was 'smashing' his misses' back doors in on the bed and she then shat herself. Anyway as it happened the parents were pulling into the drive so they quickly got changed and the lad put the dog on the bed and blamed the mess on the bed sheets on the dog. The next day his parents got the dog put down.
 
Blokes telling you they shagged a bird up the arse, and when they pulled out there was a piece of corn on the end of their cock!
Heard this loads of times....bullshit!

Also there used to be a story about a City fan getting gripped off some scousers in Liverpool town centre after the game..
Basically, they ask him where he is from and he says Liverpool...."what part" they say?
The City fan blanks for a second but spots a bus passing which as Fazackerly on the destination board!
The City fan replies.....Faz-a-curely!!

Oh dear!
 
Everyone knows someone with the nickname 'The Bat' don't they. And it's not because they like the Batman comics. Do me a favour though.
 
Two:

Similar to another one: Lady is driving late at night from a friends house through a desolate area. She spies a pram in the road, but at that point the road is too narrow for her to go around the pram so she gets out to push it to the side of the road (nothing in the pram) when she gets back into the car theres someone in the back...

Another: Teenage boy gets on the train and sits down across from 3 girls of a similar age. He smiles at them but quickly looks away as the girl in the middle is giving him a proper horrible stare. He asks if its ok to sit there or if he should move, the other two girls say no its ok, as the middle one continues to stare, without even blinking. Just before it's his stop, the police come on the train, and the two girls either side get up and run. The girl in the middle falls forward - she is dead and the lad didn't realise that the girls on either side had stabbed her and were holding her up by the knives.
