It was the issue that got Welshpool hot under the collar last month... and apologies for sending the pulses racing again this morning, but it was all for a bit of fun!
Dozens of you sms’d, emailed and posted messages on our Facebook wall after we announced this morning ‘exclusively’ that the direction of the town’s one-way system would have to be reversed in order to meet a “strict EU directive”.
And just to underline how many people are now visiting mywelshpool, the story was read a staggering 1,459 times before the midday April Fool cut-off.
But, just like many EU directives, it was all a load of rubbish, so don’t worry, the one-way system will continue to flow as normal.
It was a classic caper but we promise that we’ll return to the free and factual news that you have all come to enjoy on a daily basis – until next April 1 that is!
Happy April Fool's Day and have a nice weekend!
Mywelshpool team
