I've been looking through papers and news sites but haven't seen anything but grimness - if you see any, please post, we all need a laugh Smile

I haven't noticed any but my DH woke me up this morning (my turn for a lay in) with 'Boris Johnson has died'. With everything going on at the moment I hate to say I wasn't even that surprised. It wasn't until I said 'oh dear, I actually feel really sorry for him. How sad', that DH owned up. Pretty grim 'joke' in these times and I told my DH so.

Have a look at Blind Gossip.

The national trust has a good one on their fb page

I’m in Switzerland and someone posted an official-looking letter to the local pages saying schools will not return until Jan 2021 🤣🤣

He just looked at me and told me not to be stupid! To be fair mine are teenagers and pretty on the ball, would be mean on little ones!

My DH has posted one on his business page. Only one person so far has worked out its a joke out of 69 comments.

I thought the Today programme bit on goats taking over towns was an Avril Poisson?

@LittleRa that Ofsted one is amazing Grin

I saw on instagram that Dorset Tea had launched their own toilet roll made from recycled tea bags. I thought that was a good one Grin

Funny you should ask that I was then thinking I hadn’t seen anything like I usually would! Last year I had quite a few emails from companies I’ve ordered from but haven’t had or seen anything!

HaudMaDug · 01/04/2020 13:22

I seen the one where Price Harry was stockpiling bog roll in Costco on the Jeremy Vine show this morning and like the panel I was gullible enough to believe it until the date was pointed out. Face plant, Doh!

The goats in Llandudno are real.

PleaseNoFortnite · 01/04/2020 14:20

Oooh @HaudMaDug I'll have to look for that! Grin

I saw one that an extra dustbin would be delivered for toilet rolls, so that new rolls could be made from the old ones, in the great shortage of them.

I told my teen daughter that we had received an email from her school stating that they are reviewing all pupils work and they will be recalling certain students to school if their work is not completed to an acceptable standard.......she totally fell for it and has asked if I've received an email. I've also told her that her head has said that parents can authorise demerits and they will be carried forward to the new school year! Still not told her the truth there, her 10 year old sister saw straight through both!

Um... this is still up after 12pm but... surely it’s an April fool?

I was told one - Owen Farrell had left Saracens for Wigan Warriors and would be playing Rugby league from now on. Can't find it anywhere so assume it was an April Fool Grin

Oh gosh! Totally fooled, in thinking that was an April Fool!
