Aaah. That's the best kind of April Fool Marmight.

This morning, just before I left Oz, the 8 year old said 'Gally, you've let one off'. I indignantly replied that I certainly had not - ' oh yes you did', waving his hand in front of his nose, 'well it most definitely wasn't me'. 'Ha ha, April fool'. Cheeky wee so and so.

Today our hens were stolen again!! No April fool, we're the ones being made fools of!!!

We once sewed up the useful slit in the front of my OH's underpants and waited for the cussing to emerge from the loo!

I'd vote for Mumsnet too!

Our local paper claims that a 2000 year old well preserved pasty has been found exactly on the border between Devon and Cornwall. They've even got a picture of it

I was convinced that this was an April fool spoof. Amazingly it isn't.

ours was better than theirs

Todays' offering from our local weekly paper, states that a statue of Rod Hull's emu is to be erected on the train station forecourt. There is even a mock up photo of what it will look like.

Rod is a local boy, so some may fall for it.

Somebody I know stitched up the little 'easy-access' slot in her husband's Y-fronts. I'd love to have been a fly on the wall in the loo as he rummaged about...

Vote for Mumsnet!

Love the front gardens one.

Where is garden chat on the front page?? Help me out here please!

When I worked at Royal Mail HQ we had a great one based on post codes (not long after the came in) all about us each having a personal one. It went on for about 2 pages and was very clever.

A couple of years ago when it was on Friday, the day our local paper comes out, the front page was all about a plan for people to collect a bucket of earth each on their way up the biggest hill and dump it at the peak in order to add the few extra feet to make it a mountain.

Elegran, have you been up all night combing the net for April fools spoofs?

I told DD there was snow outside and she said ha ha pull the other one - but there was snow!
I remember many years ago a friend and I were staying with a French family on April 1st. We started to explain about the British custom of practical jokes and they were astonished. Maman and the older children were most intrigued and kept us up late telling them all about it, and the younger ones gradually yawned and went off to bed.
When friend and I went to bed we found our beds had disappeared.
Poisson D'Avril!

Look at the Dyfi Osprey FB page

That'll teach me to come straight to Actives. Ta Elegran.

There was a teacher at our school who always cringed at squeaky chalk, it just set her teeth on edge. So on April Fools Day someone brought some clear, quick-drying glue in and we all coated the chalk with it - even went into the store cupboard and removed all the boxes of chalk except two and coated every stick in those two boxes with glue too.

We kept all the chalk hidden in our desks, drying, until she was due to teach us. (This was in the days, you understand, when the pupils stayed put and the teachers moved around from classroom to classroom, not the other way round as they do today.)

It worked a treat, every stick squeaking away like crazy. Great fun!
