Today's Sunday newspapers carried the usual April Fool's stories. The Observer had Tony Blair taking up a new career as an actor once he finishes his business at No 10. He has apparently already signed to appear in Arthur Miller's The Crucible alongside Kevin Spacey and is considering roles in a Xmas special edition of Only Fools And Horses and Doctor Who (where he plays a Prime Minister who travels back in time to correct his mistakes). Readers of the Daily Mail were warned that councils around Britain were appointing garden inspectors to check for evidence of barbecues this summer and users could anticipate a £5 charge for 'carbon offsets'. The Sunday Telegraph ran the story that London is to ask Paris for help with the 2012 Olympics in an effort to contain costs. It was suggested the French could host the opening ceremony and that athletes could warm up on train journeys on Eurostar.
