pixie010203 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Ruoumr has it that Meadowhall prison was originally built so it could be turned into a shopping centre if the prison idea didn't work out. This was confirmed to me by an Asian gentleman who, after I'd found his wallet and handed it back to him, warned me to avoid the area on February 31st 2008. must be a few of these wallet things with asian men in meadowhall, heard the same thing from someone else last year.

I shall definitely make an extra special point of avoiding it on that date, basil, (as I do every other day of the year) thanks for the warning...

glitterkat Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 Another bout Meadowhall: There was an attempted kidnapping of a little girl; a security guard on the CCTV noticed that a child matching the description was being taken into the ladies loos. When they got in there they saw hair in the bin and the little girl with short hair and dressed in boys' clothes and caught the kidnapper red-handed. Or the security guard lets the woman and her "son" leave and the hair isn't discovered until it's too late. Then for some reason it was all covered up. I've had people *argue* with me about the veracity of that one! It's a pretty common urban legend told worldwide. Oh and the grateful Asian man with the warning used to be Irish in the 90s!

sarahp Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 must be a few of these wallet things with asian men in meadowhall, heard the same thing from someone else last year. I'd avoid it on February 30th 2008 too if I was you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom19890305 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Sorry.but it is utter urban myth.Where would they store all those bags?Every bit of space is used to its fullest for rental profit. Plans are in place for major incidents but these don't include civilians offering mortuary services. No thats true 100% Theres been a threat every year atleast or a bomb scare so they keep body bags there.The security told my girlfriends mom when she saw some in the back.
