April Fools! Have you fallen for any yet?

1st Apr 2021 | Local News

It's that one day of the year again when businesses, groups and people try to make others fall for their April Fools' Day joke - and many of us do.

There's already been some hijinks this morning – zero waste shop Awesome Wales announced a big sponsorship deal…

"Exciting news! Following the success of our two little shops, we've been offered a sponsorship deal by Coca Cola," they said.

"The financial backing we'll receive as part of this deal will enable us to go on a really expensive jet set holiday somewhere hot and far away (when restrictions are removed obviously).

"We feel this is well worth turning a blind eye to the number one producer of single use plastic for the time being! Hope you all agree."

Local history enthusiasts also had some fun. One post read: "Fantastic news an anonymous benefactor has provided funding to totally rebuild the Roman site at Cold Knap Barry.

"This would be a major tourist attraction in Wales if not Britain, as this very important structure is the only one of its kind in the UK."
