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?

Some more recent ones...
A few years ago there was talk in these parts of "The Forest Hill Starer", a man who would break into people's houses at night, and then just watch people sleep. My friend had to sleep with the light on for about a month after hearing that one.
Also now doing the rounds is the one about the squirrels of Brixton being off their tits on crack after digging up stashes that local dealers have hidden in people's front gardens, or nibbling on discarded crack pipes. So if a squirrel starts staring you out, run. It might mug you to get its next hit.
