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?

Captain PugwashSorry if this has been posted already, but the whole thing about all the characters in Captain Pugwash having smutty names like Master Bates, Seaman Staines, and Roger the Cabin Boy must surely be the most widely believed urban myth OF ALL TIME! And still staunchly upheld by quite a few of my mates whenever its mentioned in the pub.
In actual fact, it stems from an article in The Guardian in 1991 which basically made the whole thing up. In reality their names were Master Mate, Tom the Cabin Boy, Pirates Barnabas and Willy.
So no sexual connotations there then...
