Looooong table

What are they up to back home in Finland? Not too far from where my parents live they are busy breaking world records. I got the news already yesterday but was to busy to post. My friend reported that it had been made official by the Guinness Book of World Records: the longest table is in Nagu and it measures 163.58 metres and 5 millimetres. My friend who was involved with the arrangements of this event told me that it took them 7 hours just to arrange the chairs around the table!

Just to put the whole event into perspective, the are where this event was held has a population of approx 1500 people. So an event on this scale is quite something!

At our place we were keeping things a bit more low key and had some friends over for dinner, there were 8 of us around the table.

I Finland, närmare bestämt i Åboland, så håller sej folk sysselsatta med att bryta världsrekord. Vad annars? Igår rapporterade min kompis att det nu var officiellt, världens längsta bord finns i Nagu. Bordet mäter 163.58 meter och 5 millimeter och rekordet har bekräftats av en officiell domare för Guinness Rekordbok. Min kompis var med om att arrangera detta event och hon berättade att det tog ungefär sju timmar att ställa stolarna på plats!


Samtidigt åt vi middag med några vänner i betydligt mindre skala, vi hade 8 personer vid bordet.
