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?

My dad,a born and bred "eh bah gum, you were luckeh!" Yorkshireman, actually believed this one for a good few years - attempted to pass it on to us kids on a car journey to the *old county* once, and was forever shamed as we all burst out laughing:
Sheep who live on hills and mountains have two legs shorter than the others, from standing on the slope - y'see? Then, when the farmers take them to market, they have to strap two little wooden stilts on their short legs, so they can walk on flat ground....
Quite apart from anything else - when was the last time you saw a farmer "taking his sheep to market"?
