Today we built the world’s longest picnic table at Potters Field, Tower Bridge, London.

The event was sponsored by MasterCard to help raise awareness of ‘The Big Lunch’ on 5 June 2011. The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours in a simple act of community, friendship and fun.

And for those on the Dukan Diet, a lo-cal Stats Fest: the 90 metre table required a staggering 3540 screws, 1,230 metres of timber and weighed in at an immense 2.75 tonnes – the weight of a small whale!
