"Philip Travenen picked up a bunch of bananas at his local Sainsbury's supermarket and felt something prick his hand.

Glancing down he discovered a giant crab spider burying its fangs into his fingers.

The 65-year-old retired gardener collapsed in pain and was treated in hospital for 17 hours after the incident on Monday before being allowed home.

Sainsbury's yesterday apologised for the distress caused to Mr Travenen, who has emphysema, and delivered a free bag of shopping to his home in Newport, south Wales."

Yeah, I remember that urban legend back in the eighties!

Let's have a single thread for stupid urban legend news!
