No record but the crack was mighty
And even though the attempt at breaking the world record for the greatest number of simultaneous Christmas cracker pulls didn’t reach the magic number, the beneficiaries of the festive frolics took away a lot more than paper hats and paper-thin jokes.
Some 460 people gathered at a wet and icy Hanover Quay in Dublin yesterday in an attempt to break the record and win €10,000 for the Simon Community courtesy of event sponsors, the Carphone Warehouse.
