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?

Just spotted the ones about Purple Aki (pages 2 & 3)......I also spent some of my formative years in Merseyside, and he was one of the most feared men walking.
He wasn't a myth though - very real indeed and scary enough to earn his reputation. He was a big lad and a total psycho, but he was also a stalker of buff males aged between 13-25. Many a time I've heard of guys who could actually handle him leaving thier freeweights-gym-of-choice to give him a slap for accosting the clientele.
I saw him around a few times, but I wasn't his type, thank fuck. I remember when he was sent down too - there was a front-page story in my local paper with the headline (and this is no shit) 'PURPLE AKI JAILED'.
