How did a Tinder date story fool us?
The story of a nightmare date at the Shard wasn鈥檛 true. That didn鈥檛 stop it going viral.
Everyone who has heard the story of a woman on a Tinder date spending 拢15,000 on wine at the Shard seems to have loved it. The voice note has whipped around social media. But as soon as you鈥檝e heard it you start to wonder if it鈥檚 true. Nesta McGregor from Radio 1鈥檚 Newsbeat tells us how some fairly basic research revealed it as false. We pick up the investigation and attempt to track down the source of the story while David Robson, author of 鈥業ntelligence Trap鈥�, tells us about the origins and enduring appeal of urban myths.
