One in three pub goers admit they exaggerate tales they tell at their local, study finds

A third of pub-goers admit to “exaggerating” tales they tell in the local, with many bending the truth about how fun a night out actually was – and how often they get chatted up.

A poll of 2,000 adults, who go to the pub, found 53 per cent who have gone over the top have done so to get a laugh from their mates.

Nearly a quarter (23 per cent) have overstated how much things have set them back – and 16 per cent haven’t been totally honest about the number of former lovers they’ve had.
