What tall tales have people seen in the papers this morning?
The Telegraph has a story which says that harnessing the power of fish swimming in rivers could generate a significant part of our electricity supplies in the future.
The experts quoted in the story are Dr Andrea Pool and Gavin Roach. The piece also refers to trials at the Universite de Poisson d'Avril in Paris.
It is a send-up, isn't it?
Ian. |

Think it might be Ian! The Times has a picture of multicoloured tartan sheep as their April Fool. _________________ MiS |

Or just a Telegraph mistake. I thought their April Fool joke was showing East Sussex to the left of West Sussex on the bit about new National Parks! |

The Wright Stuff mentioned an ad in Metro about a car that was improbable. _________________ We are loonies and we are proud!
