Men sign up to give bra record bid a lift

A faltering world-record bid to open the most number of bras in a minute has been rescued — by a stampede of enthusiastic male volunteers.

Sean Murray, from Skibbereen, Co Cork, will attempt to break a world record later today by unclasping at least 70 bras in just 60 seconds.

But the lingerie shop owner’s enthusiasm for his racy record bid has not been shared by much of the West Cork town’s female population.
