For the record . . .

I HAVE to contradict the claim that the record for the number of people in a phone box is 12 adults, plus two children (Mail).

In 1961, students at then hatfield technical College packed 19 adults into a red telephone box.

that was four layers of four students plus three. and they managed to close the door, albeit briefly, which is essential in order to claim a record. I was one of the packers.
