The annual beach race in Weston-super-Mare caused a stir today with weekend freelancers across the city unable to accurately report the number of bikes involved in an accident that halted the race.
The occurrence is normally attributed to a lack of concentration on the job in hand, perhaps from applying for full time jobs or 'tweeting' about how great X Factor was last night.
BIKE COUNTS ACROSS THE CITY
Bristol Evening Post - 19
Star Radio - 18
BBC Bristol - "about 10"
The Weston Mercury - "Dozens.."
The Times Online - 21
Confused Bristolians are still waiting for a definite figure to be announced, some waiting up until the early hours for a glimmer of accurate, weekday journalism.
The beach race transforms the the seafront of Weston-super-Mare, with the iconic burnt pier providing a timely reminder of how dangerous the town really is. Following the incident, North Somerset Council are likely to ban future events from taking place, or restrict public viewing through the use of a barrier making attempts to watch the event hopeless.
A full investigation is due to take place tomorrow morning.
