  • "I detect the hand - not to mention the silhouette - of the April Fool expert, Braehead's PR consultant, Norman Macdonald in the Record's hilarious Porange Tree AF. Macdonald, when Editor of the PDE created some of the best and believeable AF's; from non-slip ice, grass that cuts itself to cruise ships pictured berthed in the River Cart next to Paisley Abbey. It's a pity we will have to wait another year for his next one."

  • "The Daily Record's April Fool has to be tops for the amount of thought, believability and inventiveness put into its execution. It was also a great laugh which is what it's all about."
