Or, else, mark this day in your diaries to avoid any central London pubs. For, on 9 October 2010, a sizeable band of peregrinating drinkers will attempt to beat the world record for the biggest pub crawl. To wit:
Our aim is to organise 3,500 people, split into 35 groups of 100 (friends will be kept together), to start in synchronicity at 11:00 in 35 different pubs around central London. Every 45 minutes they will rotate in an orderly manner to the next pub until, after 8 hours, ten pubs have been visited. This will satisfy the requirements of the Guinness World Records.
If you want to join in the carnage fun, simply sign up to the Facebook page and follow the instructions. More steady drinkers might wish to take part in one of our Alternative Pub Crawls.
Thanks to @LostMyHeart for the tip-off.
