Stuff like this really winds me up.

Common sense says that it's not true and

confirms that. Why do us Brits have to wind ourselfs up about nothing every now and again.

I remember when we had a Portuguese Deli open in Thetford a few years back (the first overtly foreign shop to open in town). I went in there a few times found them all very pleasant even if the food was a bit stinky for my tastes. Then rumours started going around town that they'd put a sign up in the window saying "no English allowed" No-on questioned the rumour and I heard it from everyone. It was completely false and the shop owner had to print a statement in the local rag saying it was untrue. I still know people who claim to have seen this sign. The mind boggles.
