A commuting friend of Mr Yudster's was completely taken in by that. Just goes to prove that brains is not the key to success in the City.

The best fools trick I have heard which would work equally as good any other day of the year is the underground mobile phone call:

You change your mobile phone alarm tone to a ringtone like the nokia tune works well and before entering into the london underground (or anyother underground rail system) set it to go off a few mins into your journey, one note on this though, it has folks even more confused if it is below ground/in a tunnell in the middle of the city around the financial district. Then when the alarm goes off answer the phone as normal and have a conversation simmilar to this:

Hi .... Yeah ......Oh yes those stocks .....they have fallen how much!!!! ........Well buy/sell(whichever takes your fancy) 100.000 shares now!!! oh I would hate to have missed this call!........ Yes.......I will speak to you more in the office!......Bye .

You can play it out how you like, but keep it quick like a business transaction. the look on folks faces is quite interesting like how the hell can he/she get signal and folks will start getting there phone out and trying to make calls and check their signal strength. Oh the fun!

Enjoy!

That's a goodun! I can see lots of bored commutors trying that out.

In Hong Kong you can still get signal on the underground. I'm not sure how its done - maybe a signal generator every few meters?

Did anyone see the inverted Guiness adverts on April 1st. A White pint with a black head! Put me in mind of the Emperor Size Mars Bars from years back.

Lalottie - can't believe you fell for the BMW advert. The inventor was a German called Hans Zoff!
