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?

Eggy CancerI always believed (thanks to my mum) that drinking the water that had been used to boil eggs would give you cancer.
Oh and the one about £5 notes not burning is sort of true (they're cloth nott paper). I have a large scar on my arm where someone challenged me to burn a cigarette through a £5 note held tightly round my arm.If I could burn a hole through the fiver I could keep it. Apparently you should dampen your arm first, to dissipate the heat or something.
And also while I'm here,was it Les Ferdinand and his mates who fucked over the Blue Peter garden, or another footballer? The legend has become a bit blurred now . . . .
