Britain's most popular lie has been disclosed, with one in four people admitting using "Sorry I had no signal" when returning a missed mobile phone call, a survey found.  Researchers found the average Briton tells on average four lies every day or almost 1500 every year.

The research found 46 per cent of girls have been caught lying, compared to 58 of men.  The second most common fib  is "I haven't got any cash on me" when asked for money by tramps  , beggars and Big Issue sellers. "Nothing's wrong - I'm fine" came third followed by "You look lovely" and "Nice to see you".   Modern technology turned out to have contributed to many lies with "I didn't get your text" in 18th, "Our server was down" in 20th and "My battery died" in 26th place.

"I'm on my way" and "No, your bum doesn't look big in that" completed the top ten.  Men tell the most fibs, coming out with five every day compared to women who lie just three times.
