Hi,

Yes, correct. But we seldom talk of an unbreakable record.

True.  I didn't pick up on that, Clive.  Thanks for pointing that out!  The more accurate thing to say would be an unbroken record.  As we all know, records are made to be broken! <img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/97.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/97.gif' alt='Emotion: clap'/>

Thanks, Clive. I think that is because most world records are broken sooner or later.<img class='emoticon' style='Width:19px;Height:19px;' data-delaysrc='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' src='https://uat-englishforward-forums-backend.s3.us-west-2.amazonaws.com/Emoticons/1.gif' alt='Emotion: smile'/>
