Just to bump this topic up (because I can), have you heard back from Guinness regarding your new "record"?

Sam · Post by **Sam** » 06 Sep 2006, 10:52

Not yet.... but you know what Guinness are like!

How confident do you (both) feel that the documentation you've submitted will be enough for Guinness? In particular:
* Did you manage witness statements at least once an hour all the way?
* Are these intelligeble?
* Do you worry that someone put down a "fake" phone number/mail address?
* Are the official timekeepers "independent enough"?
* Did they supply a report ("in their own words") as Guinness seems to imply necessary?
* Were enough time stamped photos taken?

Let's hope everything works out in your favour!

* Did you manage witness statements at least once an hour all the way? Pretty much at least once an hour I think
* Are these intelligeble? Errm, confusing words... Yeah they are readable if that's what you mean
* Do you worry that someone put down a "fake" phone number/mail address? There were a couple who refused to leave details which is a bit concerning
* Are the official timekeepers "independent enough"? I reckon so...
* Did they supply a report ("in their own words") as Guinness seems to imply necessary? Yeah they did supply a report, one is on headed note paper
* Were enough time stamped photos taken? We have quite a few photos

Overall, I hope and think that we did supply enough evidence, but we just have to play the waiting game now.

Steve may not agree with what I said but I am sure he will reply when he is next around!

I was an independent witness for the attempt and I have not received a single request from Guinness to verify the claim...

As the saying goes "don't hold your breath"

Perhaps it'll be necessary to go out there and whoop some tube butt to totally smash the record... and make sure i'm included this time!

Sam · Post by **Sam** » 06 Sep 2006, 22:41

Doing it on your own then Chris???

Well if you don't fancy a world record, don't join me...

Sam · Post by **Sam** » 07 Sep 2006, 23:23

Errm, I already have one

Do you have a certificate?

petermiller36 · Post by **petermiller36** » 08 Sep 2006, 10:16

beg to differ with you there! until u have the proof, u dont have the record!

dr_chris · Post by **dr_chris** » 08 Sep 2006, 10:30

My point entirely... besides, I think now that we know the route can work fine even with some reasonably lengthy delays... perhaps now is the time to go out and really smash it!

If that is what you wish to do Chris, that is entirely your choice.....
