Re: Evidence Requirements

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but in my current job this has been playing on my mind... it would be interesting what they would say if it becomes a piece of casework. If someone moves to be in our constituency and then makes a record attempt, I'd be happy to take up the case in our office...
Considering the difficulties with privacy and TfL's banality at no-photos... Francis Bourgeois famously has a 360 degree GoPro strapped to his head, but I wonder if that's a sensible idea given someone at TfL / BTP would no doubt intervene if you tried to film your whole day?
Then I wondered... couldn't you livestream your attempt if and when they get 4G underground? The JLE has 4G now so it may happen. (I'd typed out the reason why here, then realised it wasn't particularly relevant.) That saves you having to deal with memory cards and storage. I think that's Guinness's thought, that you can do that length of footage on a phone these days... one wonders if they'll start insisting on 4k and 60fps soon.
And then one further point - being a paid-for service, if Guinness refuse requests for an independent adjudicator (on the grounds of unsociable hours etc), surely they therefore should stop considering such world records in future? Which at least would be helpful to have in writing, given we all* trust each other.
I'm not as fit as I used to be and I would like to have another go at the FNC when my fitness is back to more acceptable levels... hopefully within the next 18 months. Guinness and HT4 notwithstanding, it is very feasible no records will be submitted in that time.
