Two amusing aspects of this article, entitled “U-turn lorry stuck in cul-de-sac”…
> The foreign-registered lorry was carrying 23 tonnes of coke when it became trapped while manoeuvring in Whiterock Road in Wadebridge.
Do they mean coke? Or Coke®? Or perhaps a solid carbonaceous material derived from destructive distillation of low-ash, low-sulfur bituminous coal?
> Traffic was largely unaffected, but police urged motorists to find alternative routes after the accident, which occurred at about 0600 GMT on Friday.
Find alternative routes… it’s a cul-de-sac!

That’s an impressive piece of journalism, that is.
Although you have to wonder what the police are playing at, issuing that sort of statement.
Maybe they enjoy winding up journalists?
Maybe they just couldn’t think of anything else to say, but there was an awkward silence that needed filling.
