or has someone made a joke poster out of your joke - no applications on the council website under that ref or description. The only one this year is a machinery store.

Get a sense of humour!

When sat at home not at a festival you have to fill your time somehow

By unnecessarily downvoting people?

Obviously a good one still with life ten years after. 🙂

The guardian believed it was real and referenced it in an article as a green transport solution.

I'maware of other people who thought it was a real thing.

The efests article credits it  to Scott not sure why it was all my own work.

I meant April fools jokes in general. 

To be honest, I missed that you claim to have created the most groan worthy Glastonbury joke ever heard. 

[Supernintendo Chalmers]

Ahhh, come on, lighten up a bit. The monorail joke is part of the fabric of this place. Just like Foals headlining, the Mum-check and The KLF reforming

the writing was mine,  but the monorail as april fool idea was a group effort round a campfire at glastonbury 2007 (i think), - i can only remember one of the other people there: @kerplunk

more amused than proud, cos they treated the story written here like the monorail was real. its in the guardian online, i'll see if i can find it. can't find the guardian referencing it.
