GWR - NEWS IS IMMINENT! What does that mean?

Anxiously awaiting word from Guinness World RecordsTM... :wink:

As per late this afternoon they still state:
GWR wrote:The current record for "Record time all London Underground stations" is:
Håkan Wolgé and Lars Andersson (both Sweden) travelled through all 275 stations on the London Underground network in a time of 18 hr 25 min 03 sec on 26 September 2006.
BTW I personally truly acknowledge the fact that I and Lars were beaten fair and square on 25-July-2007 by the Brown/Starkey clan...

:) Official record holder in the 2008 Guinness Book of Records, pg 199 :)

I spoke to Guinness last Friday and they said to expect an email by Monday. Well the email finally came today, and the claim is still pending, they need a bit more details on witness statements (from the starter and finisher), also they are unable to play the video-DVD we sent them, which showed some of the runs that Jamie filmed. I guess it will now take a couple more weeks to get what is required. So for the moment Håkan Wolgé and Lars Andersson are still official record holders! :)

Of course on Friday we have the added benefit of "Pudsey Power" so no doubt a time of sub 18 hours will be possible. :lol:
