28 of the wackiest Guinness World Records for 2019
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to hold a world record in something?
Betsy Bond from Wiltshire, who holds the world record for the largest knitting needles at 4.4 metres long – says: “Everybody has potential if you just keep striving and pushing forward. Give it a go, what’s the worst that can happen?”
While Betsy isn’t a knitting fanatic herself - the needles were created as part of an art exhibition – she is just one of the many new record holders featured in the latest edition of the Guinness World Records.
The global authority on record-breaking achievements has today released the 2019 edition of its beloved book.
