That’s almost the best comment that has ever been left on here. It still doesn’t beat the chap who asked how much those igloos were though. I doff my cap anyway!

Good. Ban it all not just certain weights. It’s weak. If the EU had real power they’d and people should be. That’d learn them. And companies that didn’t like the change should be stripped of all assets and the money donated to help Europe by-out a failing America… It could be re-branded, like the old First Division. And Australia could be seen as a Blue Square style feeder league.
If only Gordon had a spine and joined the U.K up with Europe properly. Then maybe real typefaces would shine brightly on our streets.

@elfinamsterdam That’s terrific! I didn’t think many people would fall for it, but it seems a few have. Glad you had fun with it!

I read this in my half asleep state this morning and was horrified, until I noticed the date at the bottom Great April Fool. Have a good day!

Ahh, Comic Sans. That really should be ruled as being offensive! I liked that Jim@Fleuron was going to do a Comic Serif april fool, but that font really exists! Also, FFF’s effort today which embraced Comic Sans really was super. Happy April Fools Bob!
