I read today that Yorkshire has gained a new world-record holder. The Guinness Book of Records has recorded that the loudest hand-clap in the world belongs to a 7-yr old girl from Harrogate in North Yorkshire. She hit 73 decibels, which is the same noise level as a moving HGV! Sounds incredible, but it must be true as I read it in the papers - and I'm from Yorkshire so I'll believe it..... I do however wonder how many people have competed for this record?
