Short measure?

10:49am Friday 4th January 2008

THE Darlington branch of Camra (Campaign for Real Ale) incorrectly states on its website that the town only has a population of 86,000.

According to the Town Hall, Darlington has a population of about 100,000 inhabitants.

The odd thing is all of the other information on Camra's website is spot on.

I hope that its members do not take part in a pub quiz, as correct figures may let them down in claiming the first prize - which could be a free pint of beer each or a canoeing holiday for two in Seaton Carew.
