Leicester’s Manjit Singh Pulls London Bus With His Hair
AS part of the fifth annual Guinness World Records Day, Anorak joined millions in doing nothing. Each year the world’s population swells, and a new apathy record is set.
Others, though, seeks other records. Manjit Singh, from Leicester, celebrates after breaking the Guinness World Record for the furthest distance to pull a double-decker bus with his hair, by pulling a bus for 21.2 metres, in Battersea Park, south London. Bus drivers do your worst.
Strike if you will. We have Manjit.
At St Pancras Train Station, London, a needy group of people hug each other for one minute. How times change. A few years so, before the Chunnel link hit King’s Cross, anyone in the area hugging for longer than 10 seconds was considered to be engaging unlawful activity, offering business to a punter, who had accepted.
Which brings us to a record our patron Old Mr Anorak, with furled umbrella, set on a tube train in 1974 for which, blessedly, no record exists. In pictures:
