A rumour by definition is akin to gossip or hearsay and therefore of uncertain reliability, so, as I also do not make them up and merely

post what I am told or hear about, I cannot get a rumour wrong and often disagree with them anyway. So what appears on this page may

well turn out differently or prove to be completely inaccurate, and therefore best viewed as a trivial summer pastime.
