Fallout:

After a war of words - claim and counterclaim, the truth is emerging as to how the Curmudgeon Bullers managed to substantially out-distance his rivals in the recent Milton Keynes gym-bike event.

Initial claimed sightings of a Yamaha FS50E strapped to the crank pedal were retracted when this was put down to the confused diagnosis of an apparent whining sound - later proven to be Bullers merely whingeing about the decline of social mores and other declines in standard from 'his day'.
Eventually the culprit was traced to the timing equipment. Whilst other cyclists were timed on the Omega Speedmaster TS47-05/B, this somehow disappeared with the visit of the Pikey one. Not wanting to void his Olympian effort, Bullers enlisted the help of his grandson - not realising that the only available timepiece was his own Christmas gift of 1954 - a Bullers family heirloom passed down the generations.
Accurate to 1 hour over a 24 hour period - having had a new Lidl battery fitted only last year, doubt is being cast over the validity of the timings.
Bullers himself was 'unavailable for comment' - conveniently escaping to the South of France to join other cockroach-molesting time bandits in the Haute Maritime Horological Society brazenly comparing Casio and Timex pieces.
