UK records held by women

 

Car parking:

 

The smallest kerbside space successfully reversed into by a woman was one of 19.36m (63ft 2ins), equivalent to three standard parking spaces, by Mrs. Elizabeth Simpkins, driving an unmodified Vauxhall Nova 'Swing' on 12th November 1993. She started the manoeuvre at 11.15am in Ropergate, Pontefract, and successfully parked within three feet of the pavement 8 hours 14 minutes later. There was slight damage to the bumpers and wings of her own and two adjoining cars, as well as a shop frontage and two lamp posts.

 

 

Incorrect driving:

 

The longest journey completed with the handbrake on was one of 504 km (313 miles) from Stranraer to Holyhead by Dr. Julie Thorn at the wheel of a Saab 900 on the 2nd April 1987. Dr. Thorn smelled burning two miles into her journey at Aird but pressed on to Holyhead with smoke billowing from the rear wheels. This journey also holds the records for the longest completed journey with the choke fully out and the right indicator flashing.

 

 

Shop dithering:

 

The longest time spent dithering in a shop was 12 days between 21st August and 2nd September 1995 by Mrs. Sandra Wilks in the Birmingham branch of Dorothy Perkins. Entering the shop on a Saturday morning, Mrs. Wilks could not choose between two near identical dresses which were both in the sale.

Erm.....I know for a fact that my wife could easily take on the mantle for the Talking (about nothing) and Shop Dithering categories.

 

I believe that this information is now out of date, as like all things, all categories - including tag team toilet trips and both General and Specialist gossipmongering have become a more professional passtime than they were in the early nineties. I put this down to the interference of Rupert Murdoch in trying to get these events onto PPV.

 

(I know it cost me a fortune every year to see and hear the Mrs practising for the bi-weekly world talking and puchasing crap championships) :rolleyes:
