A SHOP owner in Accrington is hoping to get confirmation to organise a world record attempt in the town.

Evonne Harwood, who runs the Pink Magpie Vintage Emporium in Warner Street, has set up an online group to gauge interest in holding an ‘Oops Upside Your Head’ world record attempt.

The 1980s dance involves participants sitting on the floor and moving from side to side.

More than 700 people would be needed to break the world record and Miss Harwood said support has been promising.

She said: “We’ve had an excellent response so far.

“We’re hoping to get a time, date and location sorted at the start of next week so we can officially confirm that the attempt will be going ahead.

“This would be a chance to put Accrington on the map.”

The date is expected to be some time in spring and would raise money for the Lady Mayor’s Charity Fund.
