Im on this one with you, i dare not think what thekids have in mind for us..I know i used to play alot of pranks on my dad as he had a sense of humour, my mum well never saw the funny side of the april fools.....
salt in his cup of tea when i was a kid was the one we got him with most years, but they got worse as we got older...

I remember one year we deflated the tyres onhis car but he went mental, so we did not do that one again...

My ex boyfriend sent his little brother to the chemist for a packet of fallopian tubes. The woman in the chemist laughed and when he said his brother sent him she told him to tell him they cost £10. Poor boy thought he was getting a packet of sweets. Also my mum was set years ago when computers first came out. My brother printed out a letter saying that she had won a big prize and it was not a sales pitch. She phoned the number on the letter to claim her prize and asked for Mr C Lyon, she still laughs today when she thinks about it as it was London zoo.

Got the wee brother in law to put blue food colouring in a pint of milk and to leave it in the fridge mother in law thought the ink from the label had seeped through the plastic (yes I know control your laughing) she was all on for taking it back to Safeway's to complain and report it as a faulty batch ( I would have killed to see that) but he fessed up and blabbed thinking he would get in trouble

Best thing is I actually started to get worried and imagined all the milk getting binned from Safeway's

My friend (now sadly deceased) told his girlfriend that peppers were grown in square shapes so they would fit in the boxes and she believed him.

I was once sent to get someone to answer the phone at work, boss told me his surname and then his first name, so I then shouted into the canteen. Phil McCracken. I was mortified.
