Chorlton Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 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 October 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. Film Confusion The greatest length of time a woman has watched a film with her husband without asking a stupid plot-related question was achieved on the 28th October 1990, when Mrs. Ethel Brunswick sat down with her husband to watch 'The Ipcress File'. She watched in silence for a breath-taking 2 mins 40secs before asking "Is he a goodie or a baddie, him in the glasses?" revealing a staggering level of ignorance. This broke her own record set in 1962 when she sat through 2 mins 38 secs of '633 Squadron' before asking "Is this a war film?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A-G Posted March 23, 2009 Share Posted March 23, 2009 how can 2 mins 40 secs beat 2 min 48 secs set in 1962? Change from imperial measurement to metric? ... and I would add: Whinge evasion record. On January 22nd 1983 Eric Lawrence forgot to lock his car in a Nottingham NCP car park. Although the car wasn't stolen and all the contents remained unaffected, his wife, Florence discovered the car was unlocked and realised that her husband was to blame. Mrs Lawrence then began a personal endurance endeavor and managed to avoid the sentence "have you remembered to lock your car this time" for a staggering 3 days and 17 minutes. . . .
