World’s most famous phone booth claims world record

Scotland’s Pennan phone box, declared by a local tourism board as “the most famous phone booth in the world,” was the scene of record breaking achievement. 16 gymnasts filled the famous phone box, breaking the booth-stuffing record set in 2003 in Edinburgh, where 12 adults and 2 children succeeded on their second attempt to fill a booth with themselves.

The Edinburgh record only includes 2 children, though, while the more recent Pennan booth-cram was all youngsters. Is it inevitable, then, that another record-seeking group will fill a booth with, say, 29 infants or 30 dwarfs?

The Payphone Project asks: When will standards be set in defining the terms of this critical world record?
