remember one from my youth regarding white horses......


no matter when you cross london bridge there will always be a white horse on it.......


more modern on a trip up the A1 will always spot an eddie Stobart lorry.......

and well................

Nearly right, Ann lol

I think it's sticking pins in your eyes that make you go blind. Yes, thats the one.

I always thought the V sign meant sod off!!

I think something makes you go blind too, can't remember what that was :-P

I always make point of walking under ladders - I do check first in case something could drop on me though - like paint!!!

oh yes and chewing gum takes 7 years to pass thorugh if you swallow it

If you swallow an orange pip it will lodge in your appendix or chewing gum will strangle your appendix

did you know swan can break your arm :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

and sitting on a cold surface will give you piles - piles of what I have no idea!!! :-D

Oh dear god, yes, the ones with an orphan, an angel, a puppy dog, a kindly veteran from WW2 and a runaway train in them. They make me cringe as well.

I really hate the 'glurge' tales; those which are supposed to provoke much eye dabbing - triumph over adversity sort of thing, often with a moral thrown in. I'm sure some of them have roots in truth, but have become so sugary and schmaltzy as to be ludicrous. I don't reach for the tissues, just the bucket.... ;-)

Does it grate on anyone else when they hear the old urban myths trotted out in conversation as if they were absolute facts and when you point out that its not true, the other person goes off in the huff?
My tops ones are:

The V sign dates back to when the French cut the fingers off English archers

Friday the 13th is somehow unlucky and all other stupid superstitions

You will get cramp if you go swimming within an hour after eating

Jews make love through a hole in a sheet (bigoted ones are the worst myths)

You only use 10% of your brain (that may be true for people who believe this one)

Science can’t explain how a bee flies (it can)

Any quote from Nostradamus or The Da Vinci Code that claims to be true/will come true/has actually happened

Anything circulated by email starting with 'this is not a hoax' or 'Warning - virus alert'
