You may have seen screenshots of tweets from a disappointed Brexiter who was trying to convince Ladbrokes his 13-year-old son put a £500 bet on Marine Le Pen winning the French election.
Tweeting under @Wollygogg, a Colin Johnson of Great Yarmouth was desperately trying to claw back the money from the bookmaker. Except the internet found a deleted tweet that said he had made the bet.
The story had all the schadenfreude the internet needed the only problem is that it was a hoax. There was no bet.
