Inventor Perry Watkins is believed to have set a world record for the fastest piece of furniture. The 47-year-old piloted the Queen Anne table, set for a silver service dinner, twice down a 500m track at Santa Pod, Northamptonshire, UK. The table, named Fast Food, reached a top speed of 130mph and averaged 113.8mph, comfortably eclipsing the 92mph set by a sofa in 2007. Mr Watkins expects to become the official world record holder for the fastest piece of furniture when his time is accepted by Guinness Book of World Records. [CFP]
