If it's not true then someone has hacked the GWR website.

Of course it's true. Now, Andi, when will you get the record back? Hehe
Congratulations Geoff and Anthony. All your effort has finally paid off!

Topic moved, as Geoff hasn't written up a report on this yet.

Re: New World Record
Well done - and, by their standards, a pretty quick turnaround by Guinness!
I thought that Geoff and co had been having another attempt on that Friday, and when in an e-mail exchange he denied it (and a few other little give-away signs), I was convinced that the record had fallen. I remember saying to my wife and son, I wonder how long it will take for it to become public.
Anyway, well done. If at first you don't succeed ...

Re: New World Record
The run was done on Friday so if you asked about Thursday, Nigel, then Geoff could legitimately deny it.

Re: New World Record
Sorry - I meant Friday; I should have known what day of the week I meant, as it was my son's birthday that day. Had it not been for that, I would have had another go myself then, but I was firmly told that my try on Tuesday was the only one allowed that week!Iain wrote:The run was done on Friday so if you asked about Thursday, Nigel, then Geoff could legitimately deny it.

How did you find that? Google must have started to index it!
