We've spoken about the best or funniest lies you've ever heard, but what's the stupidest? 5 years after the euro came in, an elderly Donegal woman told me she never used it and still bought everything with old Irish money. A lie so patently futile I think about it all the time.

Btw fact fans, that woman was the very same icon who'd said this to me, ten years earlier. https://twitter.com/shockproofbeats/status/1028972151242670080?s=19

Here, btw, is a previous thread on all the best long-running lies people have never been caught out on. https://twitter.com/shockproofbeats/status/1004315087753052160?s=09
