The Lancaster one would definitely sell. Made me wonder if it actually was an April fool
If it is, I don't get it. But then I haven't made a model plane since I was about 13.
I'd like to try that tyre!
Pinkbike have done a cracking one...

Best not mention STW's lame effort.
I'm pretty confident the Ribble one is an April fool...
Although perhaps £999 is a good price for a unicycle?

I don't doubt it is. It's just a bit of an odd one as other bike manufacturers make unicycles and a lot of the features they list are actually available (carbon fibre frames, unicycles optimised for climbing, Garmin mounts, lightweight cranks). Plenty of riders do like the sort of high end stuff you find on high end bikes. You can also pay more than £999 although that tends to be for ones with geared hubs
Guildford Dragon has a good one that even the Guildford MP fell for.
(now deleted)
Angela Richardson MP thinks a tunnel should be built under Guildford for the A3 to run through. Clearly not the sharpest knife in the drawer
If they had stopped before going on about the mi6 and the unusual named engineer that could have fooled a lot of people
Bier Company almost had me this morning with a text claiming I was a 'Black card' winner. Code was APRILFOOLS spelt backwards. Had my hopes up for a moment!
I thought this was both funny and two fingers up to Scottish government

I think the Airfix Lancaster Bomber and the Sandwich crisps could be good sellers for them.
if you have a product you aren’t sure about, stick the PR out on the 1st April and then if the reaction is negative you can claim aprils fools..
I mean, this was written on April fools, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t joking…
Late (and I think has been done?) but gives me an excuse to post Lock Picking Lawyer's 2022 effort.
New Land Rover Discovery Sports Car edition
A 1/24 scale Lancaster would have a wingspan of over 4 feet (and be nearly 3 feet long) so while I think that some people would absolutely love to have one I imagine that the tooling costs for it would result in a retail price so high that many of those that had the space for one would be unwilling or unable to pay for it.
There was a good one going around the other day, something about a 'climate emergency' and 'net zero' or something. Almost had me going!
