Report
There is a continuing issue with Teddy Gannon’s time (no.2247). This was 15:13 but you have now placed him as 16:20. His running watch said 15:04 as he entered the tunnel, which matched to the 15:13 time given for 2247 (against the incorrect name) yesterday. Perhaps someone could contact us to finally resolve whatever the issue is.
