Title: Hugging commuters set new record (12/11/2009) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 12, 2009, 18:34:29 From the BBC (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/8356327.stm):
Quote Commuters hugged each other for one minute to set a new world record at a central London railway station. The 122 people, many of them strangers, hugged each other at St Pancras station to mark Guinness World Records Day. A Guinness spokesman confirmed the record and said: "People were a little bit nervous but at the last minute everyone sprung into action."

If so, "(call me) Dave" would no doubt be happy. ;D Title: Re: Hugging commuters set new record (12/11/2009) Post by: Chris from Nailsea on November 13, 2009, 01:15:52 In a moment of idle speculation, I wondered about the (admittedly rather remote) chances of me being there at St Pancras station, and Lance Corporal K Hodge (http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/8348243.stm) happening to be standing next to me at the relevant time ... ::) :-[ ;D
