April Fool pranks

My dad caught me out with one when I was younger. Changed all the clocks in the house and woke me up frantically saying we'd all slept in and I had to hurry or I'd be late for school. For the next 15 minutes I dashed like crazy to be ready, even eating my coco pops whilst showering (no mean feat). Only when I stepped out of the house and saw how dark and quiet everything was did I twig....It was actually 3am. The knobhead

I thought maybe you were gonna be an hour early or something plausible, not 3am

A Wirral local newspaper did one years ago which said the Beatles were reforming for a one off gig at a theatre in New Brighton and that people who wanted tickets had to call the speaking clock, '123' for the youngsters who don't know. Nobody twigged that the theatre had burned down (or been demolished) many moons earlier, along with New Brighton Tower.

Another time they said the was going to be a campaign to clean the river Mersey. They were going to blockade the mouth of the river with ships from the docks and then they were going to pull the plug and use roadsweepers to clean the river bed.

bought a fake scratchcard with '8k winnings' programmed into it.


Me and 4 mates last year were going out for the day, stopped in petrol station, one of the lads said he was gonna go get snacks etc (asked who wants a scatchcard)

we all said yes, he came out and shared the variety of ones he bought out.

obviously the lad we choose to be the recepitent of this evil joke, was utterly ecstatic as he was spending his imaginary 8k.

think thats the most ive seen someone kick off when he realised what we had done to him.

poor fella.

He didn't limit his pranks to one day of the year either. I can remember opening my advent calendar one morning to find a folded up piece of paper instead of my bloody chocolate. The buffoon had made a kidnap ransom note, complete with letters cut out from magazines and newspapers, with detailed instructions on what I had to do to make sure my chocolate was released

My best mate did that to a girlfriend with a £15,000 one. She ended up dumping him for it as in the same week he'd hacked her Facebook and put a baby scan picture up on her status update announcing she was 12 weeks pregnant

One we used to do was get the local sea life centres number give it to someone and say a Mr C Lion Called in whilst you weren't at your desk.

One of the lads that works at my place has been on a golfing holiday all week. He came back to work today.

We have dress down Fridays unless we have a customer in, but last night his manager text him saying they need to interview some new starters, so he needs to come in in a suit. He turned up this morning suited and booted to the whole office saying 'April Fools.'
