The post’s link was to a Guardian article about the hoax, the post was tagged “Fairy Tales,” and the text of my post was literally "Colin Johnson is an overnight legend. This exchange has all the ingredients of a classic fairy tale — note that it’s not really Ladbrokes replying to him, but a cunning trickster. Watch for many more like it in the coming months and years as England generates a new folklore. "
If you take from this the literal suggestion that it happened, well, I can only suggest that fake news has you in mind.
