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?

three drains
has anyone else been told that it's bad luck to step on those three-in-a-row drain covers on the pavement? and if you do, you've got to spin round three times to counteract it.
it's nonsense of course, but once you start avoiding them you can't stop.
thing is, a mate of mine once pushed another mate onto a three drain when they were drunk. he was so desperate to get off them that he jumped into the road and almost got hit by a car.
was it the curse? or just drunken stupidity?
