I know the news cycle is otherwise occupied but surprised I've not seen more April Fools stories/ adverts / memes yet.

Post what you find below to keep me entertained today and distracted.
Please?

Funnily enough an ad from Birdseye popped up on my Facebook feed today featuring a Full English Breakfast Fish Finger Sandwich.

I presumed it was an April fool and was going to post it here, But when I found the link it turned out they'd posted it on the 25 March 🙂

Tweet of the day on R4 this morning (just before 6) was the rarely heard call of the "Vernal Jape", also known as the "Fair pollo". I was waking up at the time and it had me wondering for a minute

Unfortunately only posted on FB. But The Institute of Public Rights of Way and Access Management is worth knowing about anyway.
