There used to be a road in the City of London that was No Entry both ends, Billiter Street. A chap came into the front office to complain about a PC. It seems the officers had said, when asked, that the road was along Fenchurch Street and if it was no entry he should turn left at the traffic lights and approach it from Leadenhall Street.
The only way to get into Billiter Street, was along the road that joined it half way long its length. Also, for added fun, there was no left turn from Fenchurch Street into Leadenhall Street.
The station inspector apologised to the driver and said that as it was 1st April he should have been ready for an April Fool's joke. The chap left, mollified. However, it was 2nd April.
In those days the complaints system wasn't quite so well honed as it is nowadays.
Eh?
