Every school in the country had, and presumably still has, pupils who loved nothing more than making up boastful lies to impress their classmates. Some people never grow out of this behaviour and a few even progress to profit greatly from their compulsive bullshitting (we’re sure you can think of some examples).

Over on Twitter, comedian and DJ Mark Lamarr told his followers about an unlikely incident passed off as truth by his school’s resident liar, and asked his followers to share their memories of the outrageous non-truths that they were told by classmates.
Here’s how it started…

Just had a flashback to the school liar telling me that he'd rode his motorbike (which he didn't have ) to London and back in the school lunch hour. A 160 mile round trip. 40 years on , still enjoying the brassiness of his neck. School liar stories pleasehttps://t.co/l1sFXx5EOe

Boy at school – his dad was fishing in Brasil (seemed reasonable) and a fish ate up the line and rod until the man threw it in the river to stop the fish eating him, We had heard of Piranhas, totally feasible.

Someone at my school reckoned his older brother had driven his car from the school all the way home in reverse as it was the only gear that worked. Just googled the distance, it was 9.7 miles and included at least 3 busy small towns.
