Have you spotted any April fools news's stories today?

😀

Telegraph has Harry Kane being banned from playing for England because he now lives in Germany. That has to be one!

All very tedious.
Have seen the one about Georgia Steel being the new host of Love Island far too many times already.
And the 'Marilyn Monroe necklace' falling apart on Good Morning Britain.
And many more, yawn.

Dunelm selling furniture for rabbits!
First choice planes for pets

None, but my son and his GF texted from Australia saying they were going to stay out there and work (they're due back may7)

My daughter nearly fell for it but as he is on expensive medication I knew he would have to come back...phew!

This Morning was funny.
With a 30 thousand pound vase a woman bought for £1.50 at a Carboot. Dermot broke it..Alison didn't know what to do.

I got caught out by one on here last night just after midnight, so before I went to bed. In my mind it was still yesterday, so I completely fell for it.

Green moon, anyone?

Easter falls on the first Sunday after the full moon that follows the spring equinox (21st March). However this doesn't actually equate to what we see as the full moon. It is an ecclesiastical full moon and isn't calculated like we would today. So you won't see a full moon most likely!
It's all a bit batshit if I'm honest 🙈

Ah no. That one isn´t a joke.

There's so much rubbish to choose from throughout the year that April's Fool has become superfluous.

According to an email I received from Hotel Chocolat they are going to convert its Cambridgeshire factory into a tropical rainforest. There will be chocolates to pick from trees and chocolate rain that visitors can catch in cups to drink. I liked the imaginary pictures.

Also wondered about the daily gun salute at Edinburgh Castle apparently it’s going to be made quieter? There again it’s Scotland so anything is possible.

Our local bus service announced they will have therapy cats and dogs on every route to calm anxious passengers. I thought "oh that's lovely" and then "doh" when I realised!

I saw one about Metroland (a theme park inside a shopping centre near me in the 1990s) reopening and was really excited for about a minute until I realised the date.

Gig venue near me, which largely attracts tribute acts and acts that were big 25 years ago - has put up a picture of Taylor Swift and words to the effect of "New act coming soon, news after 12 noon". So many people are getting excited about it.

This one.

This is a nice old fashioned one from f&b

ah, that one I like! A nice bit of taking the piss out of themselves.

That could be a business opportunity, with some tweaking... I mean, we've had icecream from an enterprising young man with an icebox and canoe on coniston water miles from anywhere.

Was it an April Fool do you think? If so I wasn't amused - just felt short-changed!

Yes as PP said the This Morning one was good and funny, I was believing it until just before the end, when I suddenly realised what might happen

Aw that would have been great. I loved it!

Just watched on catch up 🤣 poor Alison

Sounds like Good Morning Britain had a similar idea to the This Morning one - they had an auctioneer on with a pearl necklace as worn by Marilyn Munro that had just been sold for millions- they let Charlotte Hawkins wear it and the whole thing broke into pieces. Charlotte mortified. The newsreader then revealed it was a joke as she read the headlines out later.

Years ago, the local area paper would print something funny if it was due out on or around April 1st.

One was about the people of Italy picking the spaghetti crop and even had pictures. The other one I remember wrote about the plans for building a bridge from their town to Canada (over a Great Lake).

Even funnier were the people who believed the stories. {face palm}
