So, were you an April Fuel?

We ran a story earlier on how motorists were flocking to get their hands on a secret store of petrol under the former Richborough power station.

We told how desperate drivers had been flocking to the site where the chimneys were demolished earlier this month amid rumours there were millions of litres of petrol stored within a secure underground tanker area.

The previously-unknown fortified room - measuring 70ft by 50ft - was said to have been used to store emergency fuel to power the station during extreme situations such as conflict or strikes.

However, this was all an April Fool, with some hidden clues giving the game away.

Hope you enjoyed it - and have a great rest of the day!
