Fools!

From Leicestershire Fire and Rescue Service this morning:

At 01:04 this morning, Beacon Hill in Charnwood, which has lain peacefully dormant for countless millennia, suddenly and unexpectedly erupted, sending millions of tonnes of super-heated rock, ash and magma into Earth's atmosphere.

Please avoid the area.

A cursory glance at the calendar, on receiving such news, would have alerted you to the fact - it's April Fools' Day again! Here are some of the choicest pranks:

Don't like the jam in Jammie Dodgers? Try the "middles"...

Apparently most people log in to play the National Lottery while on the loo - and Tombola has announced a themed toilet seat...

Oh, yummy - how about IKEA's new meatball-flavoured lollipop..?

Whovians of the world head to Iceland! - their new "Darlic Bread" is apparently in stores now...

Ever wondered what those sneaky sheep are saying behind your back? Herdy Homewares has an app for that...

Chocolate-covered Babybel, anyone?

There were loads more, of course, including a Scottish Mountain Rescue search and rescue cat, Robert Gordon University's "therapy capybara", Asda's adult-sized shopping trolley seats and the announcement of the "first female James Bond"...

...and then there's this:

All very clever. Did anyone fall for any of them?
