Got to be a joker, he just do what he please

Now you see it, now you don't...?

“It is with a heavy heart that we announce we announce that the Abbey Road crossing is set to be removed for the foreseeable future - a decision beyond our control. We remain hopeful it can be reversed and will return in the future.” So went the press release from Abbey Road Studios, announcing the removal of the Zebra crossing that featured in that iconic Beatles LP cover.

All is not as it seems, however. Yes - it's April Fool's Day again!

Here's a round-up of some of the bizarre lengths some PR people will go in an attempt to prank the public and, of course, gain their brand some publicity in the process...

Erm - a drinkable Subway meatball marinara sub roll, anyone?

...or how about Branston baked beans lip-gloss?

Personal stylists for your pets, courtesy of John Lewis department stores?

Birds Eye's "Potato Waffholes" - a new product containing the missing leftovers from the holes in their potato waffles?

...or how about a BabyBel waxed sleeping bag?

Did you get fooled by any of them?

No, me neither.
