Stonehenge moving
A report in the Salisbury Journal has claimed that Stonehenge is moving to Wales.
Archaeologists think the stones that make up the monument came from a site in the Welsh Preseli Hills but it’s very unlikely they’d ever be moved back there.
The article claims a group called Friends Observing Outstanding and Lovely Stones (FOOLS) has been calling for the 5,000 year old structure to be moved.
That’s a big clue that this is fake news.
New British island
5
Ordnance Survey took to Instagram to claim Britain has a new island.
It said: “The Scottish island was lost to the sea centuries ago, but has recently risen out of the waves and was spotted by our Flying Unit.”
Lots of people have commented to say they know it’s a prank.
Sky contract for dogs
5
Sky Mobile is claiming to launch a new SIM tariff for pet owners so they can continue to share more pictures of their pets online.
It claims that there’s a free data allowance for a whole year, which would be great if this wasn’t another April Fool’s Day joke.
Anti-Gaming Spray
5
Online gambling company OnlineGambling.ca is spreading the news that there’s a product called Anti-Gaming Spray.
The fake product is aimed at people who are tired of their partners playing video games and supposedly makes them stop if your spray their consoles.
It even has an impressive fake website.
Roman banana bread discovery
This tweet from the National Trust claims that an amazing banana bread discovery has been made at Chedworth Roman Villa.

Wireless cable
