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?

World's Largest TobleroneNot an urband legend but more a demonstration of my girlfriends gullibility - original i know!
I'd recently order a poster and it came delivered in a large, well 3ft long, triangular cardboard box.
So said girlfriend comes round and she see's the triangular shaped box and asks me whats in it, jokingly i said "oh, a toblerone" in an off-hand mnner, she gave me 'the look' to ask me to elaborate so I thought i'd have some fun.
"Well, I saw on eBay for a limited time only that you can buy what is the worlds largest Toblerone at almost 3feet long for £60!"
"Oh my god" Was her reply "I can't believe you actually psent £60 on a huge toblerone!"
I must make mention that this girl is neither blonde nor from essex, but isn't the brightest spark in the common sense manner, she did once - afterall - think that there were no trees in africa AT ALL due to the continent being a complete desert.
