One of my favourite days of the year as far as the media goes is here. I love April Fool's Day for all the stories that the press try and convince us are genuine. Past favourites include the spaghetti growers (obviously), the Emperor Mars Bar and one story about how the sky is gradually becoming less blue!
This year I hope not to be disappointed and all indications are there are some good ones out there. Already spotted are:
- The Guardian: Labour unleashes Gordon Brown's inner hard man
- The Metro's story about the renaming of the 1000 and 2000 guineas because of EU diktats!
I will update further as soon as I spot more, but feel free to let me know others that are out there.
P
Update #1: Wonder how many people tried the story on p. 17 of the Sun on the train this morning?!
Update #2: The Express try to convince us that the Queen took an Easyjet flight yesterday, costing us a mere £22.99, on p. 9. Also not sure about the story on p. 29 claiming Debrett's are publishing a driving etiquette guide.
