A few years ago on April 1st and for the sake of tradition I sent a day release college lad to the paint factors next door for a can of tartan paint.....
Damn Vauxhall had introduced a colour called tartan red and the lad brought back a gallon.

Sadly, or perhaps not 'Apprentice Baiting' is very much not the done thing anymore. Just before I moved into my current area of work we had an email from the local college stating that practical jokes on students were forbidden.

No more long stands, long waits, glass hammer, skirting board ladders, key to the situation, spirit level bubbles, boxes of assorted holes, buckets of welding sparks, dips in the typing pool ( that one ended a few years back).
If at first you don't succeed, use a bigger hammer!
