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?

Feet getting sucked into escalatorsDunno if anyone remembers these ads, When I was about 4 (1980s), there used to be these adverts on telly which showed some wellies and shoes on an escalator step and they got caught in the side of the moving step and chewed up.
Now don't get me wrong, I used to laugh at these ads until my mad auntie told me that it can really happen to you.
The thought of getting me feet sucked into the side of an escalator step scared the crap outa me, and I wouldn't go on one for years. Then one day when I was 8, my parents took us to disney world. When I got to the airport, Fcuk me, there was an escalator. Mum said "Never mind, we'll take the lift instead."
Which woulda been fine, except the same psycho aunt had told me just the year before that if u go into an elevator and there is too many people, the cable will snap and you will drop to the bottom and die...nice.
Never did get to see Mickey Mouse.
P.S: She's mad but I still love my auntie to bits!
