Surely it wouldn’t have rolled over if it was wound back to 50-60%? Common sense tells you not to leave the machine at 101% and start messing round. All round avoidable. police apparently caught up with him but he had managed to throw back 2 pints by then. have a picture but unable to post as not a regular poster on here.

disclaimer: rumours obviously but quite accurate I am told.
I heard a similar story but why the hush hush, nothing even in Social Media?
