Stourbridge pub giving away free pints to celebrate the tradition of pub banter

The Railway in Lye, near Stourbridge, will be giving away pints of Foster’s to thirsty customers.

There is a maximum of two pints per customer, and the offer closes when the £1,000 bar tab has been used up.

The offer is part of a campaign by Foster’s to celebrate the tradition of pub banter.

A third of pub goers admit to exaggerating tales they tell in the local – with many bending the truth about how fun a night out actually was and how often they get chatted up.

A nationwide poll of 2,000 adult pub-goers found 53 per cent of those who have 'gone over the top' have done so to get a laugh from their mates.
