News from all over - Somewhere in the UK

A man named Pete is on a mission to find 1,999 other people of the same name for a record bid. Pete Trainor has set up a website to try and collect together the individuals at the same place at the same time in order to get an entry into the Guiness Book of Records.

He had originally planned to gather together 99 other Petes, but the goal posts were moved when a man named Mohammed broke the record by gathering together 1,500 men with the same name in Dubai. Now the race is on to get the Petes to sign up at thepetecollective.co.uk.

He has so far had just 46 people sign up for his bid.
