Hi, I’ve recently stumbled upon your site.
I haven’t laughed so much since I read the Henry Root letters, keep up the good work.

Here’s an idea I had for an April fools gag, which you may be able to adapt, for a story about a suitably re-named pub in Ipswich?

In Norwich, there’s a pub which used to be called the Warwick Arms, on Warwick Street.
Several years ago, it was renamed and re-branded as ‘The Mad Moose’, and has since been a huge success.
I dreamed up a gag, whereby I planned to leaflet all of the houses on Warwick Street in the early hours of April 1st, with a pompous-sounding printed flyer “from the pub”, proposing to all local residents that the ‘outdated’ name of Warwick Street should be abolished, and changed to a new name, reflecting the ongoing success of the modern re-named pub.
The flyer would outline that “An application has been submitted to the local city council, proposing that the new name of ‘Mad Moose Street’ is adopted from the summer”. And also that “A meeting for all local residents to express their views on this matter has been organised at the pub at 11.30am today, and the attached voucher entitles the bearer to one free pint (or equivalent) from the bar.

I’ve never got round to doing it, but it would be a great gag. 
Particularly going to the pub at opening time to see who turns up?

Food for thought.
Best regards
