AS you may have noticed, Tuesday was April Fool's Day .
It is the one day in the year when newspapers intentionally print stories that aren't true, and here is the top five:
1- Police are to replace Alsatians with miniature sniffer dogs, which can be carried in a jacket pocket ready for use.
2- Stonehenge is being moved to the Himalayas.
3- A floating golf course is to be built on Loch Ness.
4- Spaghetti is grown on specially-farmed trees in Scotland.
5- Virgin Cola cans are designed to turn from red to blue if the cola inside goes flat.
