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?

Stories told by parents are always the bestWhen I was little, I had this absolutely gorgeous border collie called Emma who I loved so much. We went on holiday one year and whilst on holiday my wonderful Mum and Dad told me that they had a phone call from the lady who was looking after Emma saying she had died, she was old, so I belived it. Two years ago I found out that she didn't die, my Mum had got sick of cleaning up all the hair she shed so gave her away.
This is nothing compared to my Cousin though, her parents told her their dog went to 'a special doggy hospital' even I knew that that meant it was dead, but bless her, she told everyone that story until she was 15 and then her Mum and Dad told her the truth!
And theres the time my Mum told me my favourite teddy had gone to 'teddy heaven' but I knew she'd thrown it away cos it was manky.
