Yesterday we may have given the impression that a grubby, red-paint covered crystal ball had led to world-renowned medium and spirit-converser, Mystic Mick, being wrong about the results of the election for the All-New-Yet-Unimproved Somerset Cuonty Council.
Mick phoned us late last night to tell us that he had forgotten to mention that he suffers from protanopia – meaning he is colour-blind and therefore struggles to differentiate between colours on the red-spectrum.
“When I said I saw that Somerset had turned red, I actually meant orange.” Mick explained. “This means that my prediction yesterday was correct and my record for 100 percent accuracy is still intact.”
We are happy to set the record straight and would like to apologise to Mr Mick for our mistake.
