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.

Well done so the research you were doing on the Tuesday paid off. Congratulations once again.

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 ...

He succeeded in 2004.

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

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!
