Can anybody tell me the best April fools in the press today? I have seen the two in the sun, not really impressed. The mail usually does a good one but couldn't get a copy.

Former Top Gear presenter says being sacked by the BBC was a ‘wake-up call’ as he joins host of celebrities backing climate change campaign.
“It was like a pit stop,” he said. “One minute I was cruising along in a Porsche Cayman S to Dark Side of the Moon. The next I was in a bloody Prius humming along to Keane.
“If you’d told me a month ago that I would be joining the tree-huggers in their hand-knitted kerb-crawlers I’d probably have punched you.
“But then I thought: ‘Where does physical aggro get you – apart from a few penalty points on your P45?’ I stopped off for a pint – and there was a bloody Guardian with all this stuff about climate change.”

The Royal Albert Hall also carried out its own April Fool's prank, releasing a letter supposedly from its archives criticising the Beatles for referring to the building in their song A Day in the Life.
In the letter, an official tells the band's manager that they must not claim there are 4,000 holes in the Albert Hall, adding: 'Even if you count the doorways as holes, that would only make 32.'

this one doesn't seem to have fooled anybody... I wonder why?

Not in the press, but I had an email from Boden, the clothing retailer. They said they had inadvertently included a picture of a naked woman in a beach scene that was printed on a dress, and provided a button to click if you'd bought the dress and wanted a refund.
In the Mail, it said cars going into Longleat's monkey park could get bubble wrapped to prevent the animals stealing wipers and light casings.

Not in the press, but the radio station I listen to (Heart) did a spoof saying that supermarkets are going to introduce trolleys that seize up after 15 minutes and to get them going again, you have to put in another pound. They said it has been trialled in Japan and was a huge success and is going to start here very soon. I realised it was an April Fool's trick and rang up to have a laugh with the DJ's and they asked me to play along and go on air moaning about it! It was a good laugh.
