Every town has at least one Chinese chippy where dead dogs are regularly seen hanging on a washing line in the early hours of the morning, or the owners have a three legged cat.
When I was a lad, one of my brother's mates worked for Holland's Pies. He told me that everyone he worked with used the mixing vat as a spittoon. I didn't eat a Holland's pie for years after that.

Person comes to the aid of a Irish/ Asian person, either retrieving a phone, coat, money. As a reward, said person warns him not to attend the Arndale, London other destination on specific day. Then on specific day, large explosion in said area.
Not heard that one for a while. Bit of a shame really as I used to take it appearing on my Twitter feed as a sign that Christmas was nearly here. It used to pop up regularly as a warning not to attend the Arndale/Trafford Centre on a certain day...
That's based on a true story, I know as it happened to me. An Asian guy was getting off the train when his wallet dropped from his rucksack. I picked it up and gave it him back. He thanked me profusely and said that I shouldn't go to Liverpool, fearing the worst I asked him why and he said it was because its a shithole.Person comes to the aid of a Irish/ Asian person, either retrieving a phone, coat, money.

I remember around the years of 9/11 and 7/7, the war on terror era, there was a guy who lived near me who kept insisting that the Trafford Centre was going to be the next big target and to stay away.

Mistakenly? I remember this well. A witness described the suspect as looking "a bit like Nigel Benn" so the met just got a picture of Benn, stuck a woolly hat on and released it as the "photo fit". Isn't it nice to know the met have always been such a fine organisation?I thought it was the met police issued a photo fit of a wanted criminal and mistakenly used Nigel Benns picture .. then somebody recognising him attempted a citizens arrest

They were real, but Mctominay's relatives there killed and ate them all.The one about giant mutated spiders in Chernobyl, lurking in lift shafts and dropping in on unsuspecting lift users.

Another from the 80's was told to me by a van driver and I then heard this story told in another couple of formats
The van driver described his brother in law as a high flying, rugby playing smoothie who travelled the world on business
He went to New York and was leaving his hotel in his green tracksuit with a big yellow badge to go out for a jog and the receptionist warned him about muggers
He was taking no crap. He was a big fit rugby playing guy and off he went for a run around Central Park
He got about half way round and a bloke came out of a path from the side which was hidden by bushes and banged into him. They both apologised to each other and he carried on running one way, the bloke from the behind the bushes started running the other
He then realisies he's not got his wallet and that he's been mugged, so started chasing this bloke
He ran through a drained lake that was six inches deep with mud and eventually caught up with and rugby tackled his assailant and demanded his wallet, which was handed over
Knackered he halfheartedly jogged back to the hotel and upon entering his room he is mortified to see his wallet on the bed
He immediately went downstairs, jumped in a cab and was dropped off at the local police station, where upon, as he was so recognisable, bright green tracksuit, yellow badge, covered in mud, he was jumped on by three policemen and arrested
