James A. Garfield once commented: ‘The truth will set you free, but first it will make you miserable’. Well, why bring yourself down? Enjoy some whopping porkies at the World’s Biggest Liar competition, which takes place every November at the Bridge Inn in Cumbria.
The competition commemorates Will Ritson, a 19th Century publican and resident of Wasdale in the English Lake District who could have made Baron Munchausen look like a trustworthy sort. Will regaled his customers with fantastical tales, including a story about how the turnips in the area were so large that they were frequently used as sheds for the local sheep.
The winner of the competition will not only be crowned official Master of the Universe, but will also win a trip to the moon and their own body weight in meat pies. See you tomorrow for more NavPix, when we’ll be blogging directly from Buckingham Palace after a spot of lunch with the Queen.
