Question of the Week suggestions
Each week we ask a question. The idea is to generate material that's:
* interesting to read, i.e. we won't get bored of reading the answers after about 10 of them
* not been asked on this site before
* fun to answer
What would you like to ask? (We've left this question open - so feel free to drop in ideas anytime.)

The Rumour Mill
Working on the railway means that you get to hear all sorts of rumours about your colleagues, passengers, managers.etc. Sometimes I think train drivers are worse than schoolgirls the way rumours/stories do the rounds and usually get changed beyond all recognition.
I do know of one person who started a rumour about himself, just to see how far it would go - it went from him sh*gging a trolly-dolly (the truth) to him being caught in bed with a directors wife and being suspended for gross misconduct (the exaggerated version)- really he just went on holiday for two weeks... (and the story got as far as York, from Kent - so I'm told)
So what rumours have you started or heard and changed then passed on? How far did it go (and did anyone get fired?)
