Talking April Fools jokes in the papers

Just reading an article in the mail today about council barbeque inspectors, thinking what a bureaucratic waste of money and it twigged it was an April Fool wind up. Anyone else spot any good April 1st stories?

Terrible, wasn't it.

You'd hope that the team over there would be a little more creative.

BBC Wiltshire website had an article about racing coaches at Castle Coombe - with 40 members of the public as passengers and driver changes whilst on the move, plus a running commentary from an in-coach commentator. I preferred the sound of the double-decker series they have planned though
