Who is the biggest liar in the world?
An annual competition to find the biggest liar takes place in Cumbria, England. Five minutes are given to each international participant to tell the greatest, most believable lie they can.
In the competition, props and scripts are not permitted. Because “they are thought to be too proficient at speaking lies,” politicians and attorneys are not allowed to compete.
The World’s Biggest Liar competition is conducted each November at the Bridge Inn near Santon Bridge in memory of Will Ritson (1808-1890), a Wasdale pub owner widely known for his “tall yarns.”
One of Ritson’s most well-known fabrications was that turnips in the Lake District grew so big that people would carve them out to use as cow shelters.
Who is the biggest liar in the world?
Abrie Krueger of South Africa was dubbed the biggest liar in the world in 2003 after fabricating a tale about how he was crowned King of the Wasdale Valley.
It had been tainted by allegations that Krueger had cheated, and this was the first time a foreigner had triumphed.
A Bishop of Carlisle is rumoured to have won the contest with the shortest speech ever, “I have never spoken a falsehood in my life.”
