Venti Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Not so much an urban legend, but apparently the 100 pleats on a chef's hat are supposed to represent the amount dishes we cook eggs in. Noone wears a cartoon chef hat & there's no danger of rhyming off 100 dishes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, I only know one… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually quite a nice fella and wouldn't immediately strike you as a dog fondler. You just never know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richey Edwards Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 I used to have to wear one of those daft hats when I was training to be a chef. It's probably a big reason why I packed it in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted June 11 Author Share Posted June 11 9 hours ago, Suspect Device said: I'm studying there just now and have never been told it at uni. I do think I'd heard it somewhere else though. back in the mists of time. A wee Google backs up the student angle. From the handbook 2008-09, My favourite bit about this isn't that they've taken it as fact, but they've specifically written "Adolf Hitler (the dictator)" as if there would be any confusion as to who they meant, or they genuinely thought some students would be thinking "hmmmm, I recognise that name from somewhere...". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tamthebam Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Edinburgh: The horse statue of Buccephalus in the City Chambers has pig's ears because the sculptor was ripped off by the Council There was meant to be a lift for guest from the North British (Balmoral) Hotel to Waverley Station but I'm not sure where this was exactly I suppose there is the Glasgow urban myth about the bodies of gangsters holding up the Kingston Bridge. Although Fred West lived in Glasgow and the site of his home is now under the M8 so there are likely to be undiscovered bodies there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tongue_tied_danny Posted June 15 Share Posted June 15 I used to work with a fellah who grew up in Blackpool. He swore blind that there's a kebab shop down there that it a front for a sex trafficking organisation and that murdered prostitutes end up as donner meat. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two very different ways for them to get you to part with a few quid for a bit of badly packed kebab. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
