    That was only ever going to be an April fools.

    Anyone who falls for that would very definitely be a complete and utter fool.

    You'd be surprised what people choose to believe when it is written down for them in black and while.

    Heaven , Hell, Angels, People walking on water.:D

    It made sense all the way down until I got to Martin's statement:

    "I can't wait to give it a go – it makes me wish I lived in Swindon."

    That is not the honest view of a rational being!

    Earlier on, I was refused permission to go to the discussion thread. What is going on? Am I on some sort of spoilsport black list? Everyone is saying April Fools, why can't I?

    If only Quantitative Easing was an April Fools joke.
