We tend to think of lying as something bad people do to manipulate us when they want us to believe something that isn't true, when most of the time, for the day-to-day lies, it's just nice, ordinary people lying because in that moment, it's easier than telling the truth.

For example, oh, I'll be there in five minutes.

When you haven't left the house yet, have you?

LAUGHTER

Oh, this is a good one.

I've read the terms and conditions.

No one reads the terms and conditions.

I've got a three-year-old and a five-year-old.

Kids that age, I don't know why, they don't like to brush their teeth.

So to get my kids to brush their teeth, I say, do you want me to throw your iPad in the bin?

Do you want me to put it in the bin?

It's a lie.

I'm not going to put their iPad in the bin.

But there's two stereotypes about British people.

One about the state of our teeth.

And one about the state of our drinking.

I only want them to fall into one of those stereotypes.
