..anyone know what's happened there (in last hour)? Lots of police activity/ambulances and people looking over the bridge (I couldn't stop due to the traffic).

someone has tweeted that a guy has jumped off the bridge and just casually swum off down stream, despite all the emergency services being there

LOL - ah ok - nice one :-)

now someone's tweeted that they think that a body has been found https://twitter.com/aliciarobinson1

on the bright side if would seem that you can buy a pint of Young's Special for just £2 at the Wetherspoons nearby, less than half the price charged in the Youngs pub next door

Maybe I could pop down there and do some rubbernecking over a pint or two! (quite like Young's Special)

You'll have to be quick, AP.
According to that Tweeter, they're now lifting up a body bag! :-/

...ah sod it - traffic will be abominabobimominal by now.

[MadMen]

Yeah, sod it. Have a pint or two at home instead :)
