Description

Simon and Mick make  a few personal confessions and reveal some of travel's great fakes and fakers.  They award the title of the greatest travel impostor to Georges Psalmanazar (not his real name), native of Formosa (well, not exactly) who hoodwinked  London society in the eighteenth century.
