Ihavent played an April fool joke, but i heard there are some good ones in the papers today.
One says there is a farmer whose chickens are laying square eggs, complete with pictures of them. lol
Another says they are fracking in the grounds of Buckingham Palace and people are complaining about all the extra traffic backwards and forwards from there.
Another says the North Korean leader has told One Direction that they have to get their haircut like him when they go out there!

A small hamlet near us hung a sign out saying 'twinned with Los Angeles' a few years ago.

Pinch and a punch the first of the month
Pinch and a kick for being so quick
Punch in the eye for being so sly,no returns.

She fooled you then ummmm.

Years ago Jacob's the biscuit manufacturer created a character called Jim Figgerty for advertising purposes. We left a message on the sales directors desk saying ring this number(Jacobs factory) and ask for Mr J Figgerty who wants to buy a new delivery vehicle. He was not a happy man when he learnt the truth.

England football shirts are being sold for £90 ! that must be an April fool gag surely.

I was taught a rhyme
Aprils fool is past & gone you're the fool & I am none. Which was said if anyone played a trick after midday on April 1st. Has anyone heard this?
As a retired primary teacher you had to be very aware, a good one was to write March 32nd on the board.

[cupid04]

I remember from school you had to do April fool's tricks before midday or you were the April Fool if you tried to play a trick after midday!

[CJHorse]

I've never heard the rhyme, but I've always understood that 12 noon was the time limit.

Here's how to get an England shirt for less than £16 - NOT April Fool

Me too, if notdone by noon, the joke's on you....


The Daily Express are reporting that a farmer's hen is laying square eggs!

I though the NHS story this morning about having to eat 7 pieces of fruit and veg a day might have been an April Fool, but it's reported elsewhere too, so perhaps it's real!

My local radio station - 2BR - decided to wind it's listeners up, this morning, as a kind of April Fools day prank. Between 8 and 10, No Direction's "Best Song Ever" was played, over and over again, stopping only for the local news. Then, from 10 - 12, it was the turn of Rick Ghastly and his "Never Gonna Give You Up." I tuned to another station for the duration and have just returned to 2BR to hear them saying that they did it for a laugh. It just has to be the most pathetically juvenile April Fools prank, ever. But it did alert me to the fact that there are some very decent morning shows on other radio stations which i will be tuning in to on a regular basis from now on. So, thanks 2BR - which, we believe, stands for 2 bl**dy records!
