April Fools Day revisited – what stories should have been true?
On 1st April every year the UK has this strange event called April Fools Day. For the morning only, you are allowed to tell tall tales (make up stories) and try to get others to believe them. The Church Mouse has published a list of his favourites here.
1. Government proposes walking speed limit for pensioners
2. Gordon Brown wins the Nobel Peace prize
3. Iain Dale rejects the Orwell Prize and hands his place to Derek Draper
4. Guardian to go Twitter only
5. Rowan Williams shaves off his beard for the G20
6. Generating energy from fish
7. Lichfield Cathedral to rename its towars due to political correctness gone mad
8. The Mouse’s very own little jest – Gordon Brown to take the Alpha Course
They’re all a little bit silly and often you end up waking up the following day wishing you hadn’t fallen for such a blatant untruth. However, occasionally there’s something that you wished had come true. So my question to you, which April Fools Day story did you hear that you wished wasn’t make believe?
