When Jessica Anderson finished the London Marathon last week, she thought she'd broken the world record for a runner dressed as a nurse.
According to Guinness World Records, she hadn't. For although her time of three hours, eight minutes and 32 seconds was the fastest recorded, she was wearing medical scrubs, not a 'proper' nursing uniform.
To qualify she should have worn a traditional pinafore apron and cap.
