<font color='#810541'>General bad reporting point - in this morning's 'Metro' newpaper - the free rag handed out at many train and tube stations - it reported that Mark Ellyat had made a record deep dive on Scuba gear.
He needed to carry 6 oxygen cylinders apparently.
It didn't specifically mention it but I suspect he may have been wearing flippers as well.
It doesn't take much time to find facts out but I fear too much for the hacks who probably (and I apologise in case there are any hardworking journalists reading this, but I mean, what's the chance of there being a hardworking journalist, never mind them reading something that doesn't attempt to smear a celebrity in some way) dashed off a couple of paragraphs on the way to / in / after the pub.
