Gr8 record for speedy texter

A BRITISH woman was feeling “Gr8” yesterday after she smashed the world record for typing the fastest text message, a mobile phone company said.

Melissa Thompson, 27, wrote “the razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human”, in 25.94 seconds.

The official Guinness World Record is currently held by American Franklin Page, 24, who wrote the same passage in 35.54 seconds in March this year.
