There's a program on ITV tonight that should be worth a watch as it's all about April Fools that have appeared in the media over the years.

I wonder if they will show the spaghetti 'harvest' in Italy from when I was a child. My parents - both educated people - had the encyclopedias out trying to find out more about it as they could not believe that Cliff Michelmore on Panorama could have got it wrong.What was more there were pictures of the spaghetti being collected in big baskets and laid out to dry so that it changed from soft strands to the stiff dry ones that were then packeted.
Anyone else remember seeing this in their formative years ?
