Sex toy and lingerie retailer Ann Summers is in talks to move its headquarters to Ikea in Croydon and there is a were-squirrel in Wandle Park.
These are just two of the untruths being peddled on the internet today thanks to a Twitter competition launched by folk singer Beans on Toast.
The #untruecroydon contest was launched on Ally McKinlay's Croydon Radio show Made In Croydon yesterday when Beans On Toast was his guest.
The one judged to be the best will win two tickets to his show at Matthews Yard on July 23.
This show is part of the Ambition Festival, running in Croydon from July 23 to 26.
Go to Twitter to take part in the contest and use the hashtag #untruecroydon.
#Croydon is the Badger Capital of the world & they all dance in Sanderstead plantation on Tuesdays at sunset (now!) #UntrueCroydon

The Nestle Tower got its design when the daughter of the lead architect dropped a chocolate bar over his drawings. #UntrueCroydon

It's well known that in Anglo-Saxon, “Croydon” means “crocus valley”, but did you know "Waddon" means 'prolapsed rectum'? #untrueCroydon

Wandle Park is inhabited by a weresquirrel. You'd be nuts if you tried to meet it. #UntrueCroydon https://t.co/Sfs8SVeP9e
