I once told my Higher English class that the sqa had decided on a last minute assessment. I had arranged the seats in rows rather than my usual groups. I gave them out a paper with a series of command. The first was read the last statement which said April Fool, now fold your arms.Quite a few didn't do that and worked through question by question and couldn't understand why others were laughing. I gave them five minutes then told the truth. I knew there was no-one who would be genuinely anxious otherwise I wouldn't have done it

John Lewis adverts showed a new wearable duvet you could wear to try the bed duvets out.

The second one was that gravy was going to be served in paper cups on the roadside at the Manchester marathon.

Maybe the idea that you can have a criminal record for speaking the truth is an April fool?
Our gym said it was creating 5 minutes only bookings for the sauna because too many people were using it to dry off after a swim.

I’ve only just bought the Mail but haven’t had a chance to read it yet.

There is usually a clue in the name of the journalist reporting a ‘story’ on the first of April, as the name is an acronym of April fool!

Oh well it was from Hotel chocolat informing me there was a cacao rain forest coming to the UK and you would be able to pick your own luxury and rare chocolates etc if only!

There is a new character coming to East Enders. It's Honey's twin sister - Jo King.

And lo on the Express site I find Meghan and Harry are going to rename themselves the Duke and Duchess of Hollywood.
Any others spotted?
