Best joke I ever played on April 1st was when I first moved to London.

I was working at Simpsons of Piccadilly, a rather snooty store and the basis for Are You Being Served.

They were having a Japanese promotional week, complete with Geisha girls, motorbikes and an indoor Japanese garden.

April fool's day fell on a Saturday, and I was rather bored. The Japanese garden was on the ground floor, and consisted of big bamboos, waterfalls, a pagoda, the lot.

I caught the service lift up to the display team's floor who didn't work Saturday. I helped myself to one of the display boards, an italic broad nibbed pen and a bottle of vicunna coloured ink.

Twenty minutes later a large crowd was waiting patiently infront of the Japanese garden.

'Chi-Chi the Panda will be appearing in 30 minutes.'

I never got caught.
