just reading some of these posts and i wondered what is the best urban myth you have heard and where …oops nearly a supersmiley then sorry.
Its the one about the super-smiley-hairy-gorrilla. But I don`t believe it. …Oooppss!!!
I think the most memorable was the one a bloke from Hull told me.
If you drive on the continent, you need to join the International Drivers Club.
For an annual payment you get an ID card that gives you discounts on parts, food and refreshments
If you break down, you have a central number to call and a bloke called Les Routiers comes and fixes your truck for free 
There was some truth in that until some London O/D got tugged by the old bill by Bordeaux for 6 bald tyres on his unit. Les Routiers came out & replaced the tyres with new ones on the condition that the O/D repaid them on his return to UK. //Course e didnt, did e…? After a few like that the French Routiers cut ties with the UK crowd. The geezer in question was Old Man Peake, whose son Tommy would never tire of telling this funny story. They have both since passed away.
