Alan MacMasters: How the great toaster hoax was exposed
For more than a decade, a prankster spun a web of deception about the inventor of the electric toaster. His lies fooled newspapers, teachers and officials. Then a teenager flagged up something that everyone else had missed.
Huh! Next you'll be telling us that Jimmy Wales didn't invent Wikipedia! 😃

Man ends 20-year Llandegley airport sign prank that cost £25k
A man who spent £25,000 on a fake airport sign in mid Wales is bringing the prank to an end after 20 years. For the past two decades, a billboard for Llandegley International has been a landmark in the Powys village. It looks like an ordinary road sign, but actually signposts to an airport that only exists in people's imagination. After spending thousands of pounds to erect and maintain the sign, the owner decided it's time to take it down.
Llandegley Airport is no more!
