It all smells fishy
Darn, I’m so disappointed I missed it (not).
Whenever I’ve read the paper or watched the news on Poisson d’Avril (take note, you continentals), I’ve ended up thinking it was all fake, so I’m a little intrigued as to what they were getting up to in the Grand Dartmoor Lying competition, which took place yesterday (April 1, fool - said like BA Baracchus).
Contestants were judged on their ability to entertain the audience, convince them of untruths and make it up as they went along. All they needed to do was read out the front pages.
The biggest lie I can think of runs way over the seven-minute time limit. Forty-five minutes actually, but then that’s another lie.
To find out more, visit Devon Arts Culture, maybe.
