The Bank of England has quashed Abbey National's plan for an April fool's joke.

The Abbey intended to release a story about customers using printers in their homes to produce cash. But when the Old Lady of Threadneedle Street got wind of it, she suggested it might lead to real counterfeiting operations.

“The bank outlined their security concerns and we agreed to drop the story,” said a slightly embarrassed spokesman for Abbey National.
