Yep I know, I've just been on Echo's post, if it is an April Fool then this could bite them in the bum after Christchurch and Japan.

I think the 'Assault with a Marshmallow' is the Sun's effort at April fool

If it is a joke, someone should lose their job.

Sorry Jack - that bridge was declared weak and has been closed for some weeks, causing buses to be diverted. It's about a mile from where I live, and I wasn't aware of any quake.

[Hopkirk]

Perhaps the Gazette haven't put their clocks back yet
