The record for shouting “Cha cha taxi Chi chi”

The record for shouting “Cha cha taxi Chi chi” most times in 52 seconds was set by Cyril Barnaby, 58, from Chipperwick, Hants in 1985, which he directd at Jenss Tjóblid, the visiting mayor of Bornbild, the Danish town with which Chpperwick is twinned. He later told his local newspaper, “It started out as a joke, but it quickly became my passion. I feel I’ve left a legacy for my grandchildren, and I hope it will persuade Britons not to go into the EEC.”
