Sky staff break nursery rhyme record

August 4, 2009

What better way to boost workforce morale than a mass rendition of 'Head, Shoulders, Knees and Toes'?

Well, Guru can think of a few hundred, but staff at Sky were 'cajoled to participate', according to the company, in the giant game as part of a seemingly pointless attempt to break the Guinness World Record.

Some 1,252 people were press ganged, sorry, invited, which safely beat the previous record of 1,217 people taking part in Taiwan last year. Congratulations to all those at Guru's favourite subscription TV service.

The record-breaking performance was part of 'Skyfest' - the firm's music and entertainment festival. The shindig included comedy, music, dancing and a funfair as sounds like a kick-ass employee reward event.

Who knows how much this thing cost to put on, but if Guru's Sky Sports subscription goes up anytime soon then he'll know what's to blame.
