RELEASE: Press release blogger falls foul of the fashion police

An East Londoner, who earlier in the year backed-down on a radical self-rebranding, was today stopped by police for wearing the wrong thing; he became famous for running a blog (www.thepressreleased.co.uk) which documents everyday events in his life in elaborated press-ready form.

Jerry Daykin, who escaped without a formal warning, was halted by a police squad car on Sidney Street, Shadwell, when his outfit matched the description of an individual wanted for a nearby attempted break-in.

"I had no external meetings that day so had chosen to dress down in jeans and a thin light grey jumper, the chill I got stepping outside the house should have been enough to send me back to change but sadly I continued as I was!"

The police officer asked Mr Daykin to kindly stay put until further details of the suspect could be extracted from the understandably upset victim. The 6 foot 4 marketing manager was immediately released when the suspect was identified as being approximately 5 foot 4 in height.

"The police were very polite and apologetic for the inconvenience and I reassured them that I was happier knowing they tried to stop criminals than let suspects get away to avoid annoyance - perhaps I'll think twice about dressing quite so casually again though!"

Margaret, a former work colleague of Jerry's, commented "Last time you go out in your sports casuals then. Gosh maybe the rest of you needs to be rebranded now?" Whilst elsewhere wild accusations that Jerry might have used stilts to cunningly disguise his figure have been outlandishly thrown about.
