internet liez
A friend of mine once told me the exact same story about something that happened to 'a friend of a friend'. Urban myth. AICMFP.

Ah well I took a punt.
I heard it from a flatmate who said he'd lived in said flat the year before he shared with me.

I only retold it putting myself in the flat because I didn't want to go down the "friend of a friend" route so that people wouldn't think my story was a lie (being under the impression, as I was, that it was authentic).

Perhaps I should retell the tale starting with "I had a horrible flatmate years ago who told me lies about this guy who, blah, blah, blah, poo-tits"

I'm a little upset as I've had some good times retelling that tale down the boozer on the odd occasion and now it's been cruelly taken from me. (sniff)

Ah well, sorry for the inadvertent untruth.
Your five pounds will be dispatched in due course.

Nae bother.
There's all manner of urban myths on these here hallowed pages, and you told it well.

It might well be
just a long time ago, in a galaxy far far away.

It may well be
I was told it about 12 years ago before urban myths were invented and after the demise of the old wives tale. Perhaps in this tiny window of honesty I was party to a first hand account of an actual event.

No?

Ok, I guess not.

I shouldn;t worry about it
I'm sure a fair few of the stories we see here are 2nd hand, or urban myths.

It's almost expected. Nobody beleives the true ones either.
