01 April 2020

"Please, No April Fools jokes this year .....we’ve had enough." said a Twitter user this morning.

Even Google, normally a huge player in the yearly joke, has indicated that it won't be taking part.

So, is April Fools' cancelled today?

We’ll let you decide! Here’s a roundup of Tweets we collated this morning…

Is someone going to tell us that 2020 just a really early and terribly unfunny #AprilFoolsDay joke?

And at least we've got animals to keep us cheerful – where would we be without our pets?

That moment you realise it’s April Fools Day but none of this is a joke. Good thing I have a cute co-worker to distract me. #petsoflatrobe pic.twitter.com/7tbQGiKuWC

Our suggestion...

Why not hold off on the jokes until you're back in the office? We've found the perfect workplace prank to pull on your team and maybe even lift some spirits. Simple and effective. Thanks, Nigel! 

What’s your best prank?

I convinced a colleague the new work lift was voice activated. She was so convinced, when she got into the lift with a colleague, she offered to select their floor by voice. Baffled, the other person said, “I’ll just press the button shall I?”#AprilFools
