Their record attempt, which was also in aid of charity, was made on the banks of the River Thames in the shadow of the mist-shrouded tops of Tower Bridge. After much jogging on the spot and some energetic flexing the group of ladies, directed by the determined Dani Maynard, shed their shoes and lined up to be crammed into the tiny interior of the Mini. Maynard, holder of the existing record of 27 people in a Mini, managed to poke, jam and tessellate her team of 28 into the car in around ten minutes. With all the doors and windows shut the girls had to remain in the vehicle for five seconds for the new record to stand. The countdown ended and cheers erupted from Maynard and her support team, the old record was beaten, a new Guinness World Record had been achieved. Once the girls had been extracted from the vehicle, Maynard said their record was something the country could be proud of. “I popped 28 women, not quite as easy as it sounds, but I put 28 women in that car to break the world record yet again for Britain.“ All of the participants managed to emerge unscathed despite the crushing conditions they’d endured. “You don’t know what’s going on once people are piled up and your airway’s gone, “said Jayne Brockwell, one of the new record holders, “all you hear is ’one more, one more!’ And then, shoved in breathe in and then the next thing we’ve done it.“ Guinness World Record officials adjudicated the attempt and presented the team from Eastbourne in the county of East Sussex with a certificate to mark the occasion.
