Urban Legends
I'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?

POSH
noticed down there that thing about Posh meaning Port out Starboard Home. Er, not as I've always been told - it's an old word for 'dandy' and also means 'rich', and evidence can be found for these two sources way before any for the p.o.s.h. one, for which there is, er, NONE. Nada. It's just made up.
Bit it does make a better story, I'll give you that.
