April fool

[lockwood]

Just heard from my sister that when she got up this morning, she found the telephone wrapped up in a plastic bag. When she asked my 6 year old nephew why he did that, his explanation was:

His childminder had told him that the phone lines were being cleaned today and that he should put the phone in a plastic bag so that dust doesn't go everywhere when they blow down the line.

I have a good mind to report the childminder to social services!

I'm off to the school in an hour with 2 kids all packed for a week's skiing. If some b*****d is winding me up.......................

Just finished my VAT return

If I send off a cheque for one penny
and April Fool written on it..............

Do you think they will find it hilarious?

Here's another stunning idea for climbers!

Nice one Jimi - after wading through the blurb (which was very funny), it took me a while to identify the material being used.

BTW - looked a bit like Bowden Doors in Northumberland, but years since I've either been there or climbed.

Stunning is the word! It puts new meaning into the expression 'safe as houses' when the second asks his leader if he's 'safe'! /forums/images/graemlins/laugh.gif

Sgeir, it looks like Stanage or one of the many Derbyshire gritstone edges to me but it is impossible to see what the rock texture is from the small photo.

our local paper (Cornish Times) has an article showing potato growers checking on their crops by putting their ear to a pipe stuck in the ground. apparently they can hear the potatoes sprouting.

then again some pretty strange things happen down here.

I reckon Prince Charles and sons produced a great April Fools trick on the press.

Liked the BMW advert in the Times today.....

Not sure about the BMW advert (didn't notice it). But did you see the lead advert in the personal column?
