Urban LegendsI'm ashamed to admit it, but I fell for the "Bob Holness played the saxophone on Gerry Rafferty's Baker Street" story some years back. It just seemed so right. I still want it to be true.
What have you fallen for, or even better, what legends have you started?

Birkenhead Legends...#1 Birkenhead Park was the original inspiration for New York's Central Park, anyone around Birkenhead will tell you the same.
#2 Urban legend has it that Birkenhead Park has a 10 foot Pike in the lake which is known as 'the grandad pike', apparantly nobody ever managed to catch it, but if you ever see a load of fishing floats speeding across the lake - they are attached to the legendary pike. This rumour has been going for around 20 odd years and is feared by all the kids learning to fish even today.
#3 Also were I live, a neighbouring town (Wallasey) is allegedly were all the gays live. The saying used to be, if you ever drop a penny on the penny bridge (seperating the towns) kick it all the way across until you get back to Birkenhead! (ie; don't bend down to pick it up)
