"Being a bit of a Manics fan I'd be a little disappointed if Richey simply changed his name to alan (keep the edwards though, nobody would see through 'alan'), moved to Nottingham and became a mechanic. Jumping off the bridge looks a much better option." - I laughed.

I think, basically, if anybody has any evidence they should go to the police about it rather than stick it on a forum. If they're afraid of wasting police time then why bother wasting anybody else's?

The guy works in an off licence. Why didn't he grab a still from the CCTV camera? All off licences have CCTV cameras because they're prime targets for shop lifting and armed robbery. Also, why did he wait 6 years to tell anyone? And only then on an internet forum?

Why?

Because it's bollocks. That's why, kids.

I guess if what he wanted was dissapear, he wouldn't simply moved to a place where he can be easily recognized (anywhere in the UK). and more stupid than that would be only changing his first name!
This is bullshit

I'd be a lot more convinced if the guy had said "oh and he bought a packet of razor blades too".

And if he turned around and said 'Does my arse look fat in this?'.

And if he referenced Camus.

These stories always make me chuckle a little. I don't believe this story is true at all.

I worked in a offy/corner shop - there was no way the manager is going to go through the footage on CCTV, unless there's police involvement, even if a crate of beer was stolen. I went to a club where my girlfriend's purse was taken out of the bag she had on her. We knew where and when it happened but management checking that tape was like trying to force an elephant into a rabbit hole: it didn't happen.
But, yeah, this is a questionable sighting...

I think you're being a bit generous there - "complete and utter bullshit" is probably more apt!
