Until a week or so ago, an enormous football, billed as the largest football in the world stood near the Aspire Sports facility. It’s status is apparently verified by the Guinness world records book. I guess it’s all part of the World Cup PR process.

Unfortunately I was always driving when we passed it so I’ve been unable to photograph it myself… and now it’s gone.

However instead I give you the largest shopping trolley. It sits outside the Geant hypermarket. I don’t know whether this qualifies for world beating status, but it must be close.
