www.newsshopper.co.uk/ columnists/jackanory/ is a new section in its own right which we hope you will enjoy.

Each week reporter Jack Lefley will tell you a strange tale which is either a genuine news report or an out-and-out fib — it is up to you to guess.

You can vote either way and he will proudly reveal the truth of his claims in the following week’s tale. We can never tell if he is telling porkies — can you?
