Aqua Nova (April Fool?)

On Page 13 (unlucky for some) of the #Western Fail today is this:



  World's First Pub under the Sea for drinkers
 
Welsh Brewer Brains is planning to build the UK's first underwater pub in Cardiff Bay. Drinkers will be able to sip a pint of the brewer's finest ales while admiring the aquatic life in the Bay through the windows of the Aqua Nova bar. The pub is a UK first and will be five metres below the surface of Cardiff Bay, close to it's sister pub, the Terra Nova.
Brains is appealing for volunteers to wear a specially adapted suit and be taken underwater by experts in aquatic pub design. The suit will allow the wearer to drink a beer underwater, testing for any changes in taste, consistency and texture.
Brains expect Aqua Nova to be open by the summer of 2015. The pub will serve a seafood menu, including Cardiff Bay, fish of the day.
Bruce Newman, head of marketing at Brains, said "Customers are always looking for something new and different and Aqua Nova won't disappoint.." 
 
Now this has got to be an April Fool's Joke....right?
If not, then it is manna from heaven for the Shark Fisherman of Wales.
 
 
 
There now follows a short sketch featuring two Brain's Drinkers at the Newly Opened Aqua Nova in Cardiff Bay! 
 
 
 
Arky and Terry are standing at the Bar of the new Aqua Nova in Cardiff Bay
 
 
Arky: Here Terry, this is the life innit?
 
Terry: Beats the Grange any night of the week, mind you, the damp they've got in there.....  
 
Arky: I'm not very comfortable in this suit they've given us...
 
Terry: Don't you dare take it off, it's pressure adjusted and all sorts, it'll affect the taste of the beer.
 
 
Arky disrobes and stands in the middle of the floor of the Aqua Nova in his Cardiff City Blue attire
 
 
Terry: You're asking for trouble, Vincent Tan will be banging on the glass in a minute!
 
Arky: Hey we might pick up a couple of Mermaids in here.....Mermaid Quay and all that!
 
Terry: Yeah... I wonder what they drink?
 
Arky: I don't like the colour of your Beer.....It's Blue.
 
Terry: Blue for Cardiff Mate!
 
Arky: That's sea-water Terry....
 
Terry: Here.... there's a crack in that glass, where that shark's trying to get in.....
 
Arky: Here..... where's the BarSquid gone?
 
Terry: I wonder if you can fart in these drinking suits?
 
Arky: Is this a 'Pub too far'? I have to ask myself.
 
Terry: They'll be bringing in pound a pint pubs next Arky....!
 
Arky: Don't be dull.....you might as well be drinking sea water then..
 
Terry: Talking of which...where are the toilets in here?
 
Arky makes a broad sweep with his arm
 
Arky: Out there Terry....out there! Because we don't swim in Cardiff Bay...we just go through the motions....Boom Boom.  
 
Fini.
