boldforester Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Has anyone spotted anything slightly 'suspect' in local news coverage for the 1st April? There's a Star story about a boat full of Lea & Perrins Worcestershire Sauce, bound for Rotherham, doing an "Ever Given" on our city's waterways...

whiteowl Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 1 hour ago, pattricia said: I haven’t read my Daily Mail yet but they usually put something in. I heard they were going to fox readers by putting a factually accurate article in as an Aprils Fools The only one I've seen this year was online about SCC "re-introducing one of Sheffield’s much loved landmarks, The Hole In The Road".

horribleblob Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 In the i today, hidden among other covid stories is a short article: 'Cornwall makes language test compulsory for tourists'. The gist being that, with holiday bookings up 700% and concerns of local services and infrastructure being overwhelmed this summer by millions of “staycationers”, arrivers at self-catering cottages, hotels and campsites will be asked to take a test covering basic phrases in the Cornish tongue (Kernewek), and that testing booths are expected to be set up on major traffic routes into Cornwall.
