Anyone heard the rumour

[benny3008]

Generally brought up in asda stores of a mother turning her back fro two seconds, looks back and her little girl is missing, all doors etc. in the store are locked and the whole store is searched, they find the little girl in the toilets of the store having been taken by a polish/romanian couple (varies every time the story is told), had all her hair cut off and clothes changed in an attempt to get the little girl out of the store without anyone noticing...and so on, well its a hoax, if anyone ever tells you a story similar to this, chances are its all rubbish.

The couple don't go there now. Not since ASDA put their booze prices up.

You mean the one about him being a world class player?

Whenever I get one of these mass "forwards" I always Snope it. Nine times out of ten it's a hoax.

This rumour has been doing the rounds for at least 20yrs, although it varies with nationalities.

Is it the one about Princess Diana losing one of her boys in a shop and when he's found in the toilets he's got ginger hair and looks nothing like either of his parents?

I always Snope it?

Apparently, the Steven Gerrard rumour (Google it) is the subject of an injection to prevent the press from reporting it.

[Everhelpful]

Injection? Think it should be Injunction.
