... I'd probably have the artical starting off somewhat like this:
No, fellow Fen, it is no joke. On April 1st, and with that stiff upper-lip solemnity that Old Blighty is so good at, they declared that the United Kingdom Space Agency is officially open for business. Ever sticklers for tradition, even if it is the tongue-in-cheek variety, they decided to make the official proclamation on the same date in 1918 when the same was done for the Royal Air Force.
The newborn UKSA is an executive agency under the Department for Business, Industry, and Skills. The big business types of the SMOFs should know what that means. (Hint-hint-nudge-nudge at Mr. Scott.)
And so on and so on...
