Gransnet, Mumsnet and Google have done well this year.

I once sent a memo round our team saying that it had been decided to wear Aertex blouses as uniform and could people please send their sizes and preferred colours to personnel. Worked a treat. People were outraged, boss and union contacted. Luckily they knew it was an April fool.
DH was told every year to contact a Mr Fox and the zoos number given. Fell for it every time.
Must rush - 1st April always busy day for me. Wonder how I can fool the DGSs!

Snow wouldn't be an April Fool up North, Coolgran65. I'm sitting looking at the last of yesterday's hail and sleet on the grass and definitely wouldn't want to play golf today.
When I was about 13, the whole class decided to play an April Fool on a teacher we didn't like very much and all turned our desks round before she came in. (So childish)! She never made any comment and proceeded to teach the back of our heads until we gave in and turned round again!

There's a really amusing Jeremy Clarkson spoof in the Guardian. I didn't realise it was a fool until half way through the article.

Mind you, I like the post Springwatch has put on Facebook!

All Fools Day was always a day of dread for me at school and I fear it's stuck. I loathe practical jokes and prefer to ignore the day. Previous pranks when I've been 'got' are buried deep in the Forget It drawer!

Just told DH that there is snow outside. No there isn't.
He is golfing today. smile

It is my son's birthday and so I have always played it right down.
The spaghetti harvest one was good.

No personal memories but I still chuckle at the TV "spaghetti harvest" one. Anyone able to Google it and post a link?
