Were you tricked by any April Fools?

A clown

It's April Fools Day - a day when everyone tries to wind each other up by telling them tall stories or playing tricks on them.

This year, we joined in by trying to fool you with our story about fake TV talent show Kittens Got Talent. But did it work?

Have you fallen for any wild and wacky stories this year or has everything seemed strangely believable?

Maybe you've been the one who's been fooling your family and mates? If so, what did you do? And did it work!?!

Unfortunately this topic is now closed, but there are Comments pages on other subjects on the main Chat index.
