Die Britte kan darem nie skuld kry vir alles nie, maar het tog 'n deel gehad aan die oorsprong van April Fools Day...
Die algemene teorie is dat dit ontstaan het uit die lighartigheid net na die somertyd begin en lente in die lug is!
Die heel eerste April Fools joke wat gedokumenteer is, kom inderdaad van die stiff upper lip Britte!
The very first April Fools Day joke that we have a written record of is the so-called washing of the lions at the tower of London. Supposedly visitors to London were told that there was going to be a washing of the lions at the tower and they were invited to attend this. Of course there are no lions at the tower of London so they would show up to see this and the joke would be on them, Ha, Ha April Fools. (Alex Boese)
