Hi Robert, before i answer i would ask you to participate in a constructive discussion here. Insultings and overreaction will lead nowhere. I try to react on your posting in a respectable way and i also ask you to show a bit more respect in this further discussion. Thanks.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:30, 21 September 2015 (CEST)

PS.: And it would be really pleasing, if you guys would stop ripping apart posts. Nobody can follow, especially if you comment without putting your signature in. Just write a block and quote in your own posting, this is much easier to read.

: The record 32 is very easy to break, you only have to hit the road for 24hrs with the purpose of doing it, and I expect that it can be done in just a few hours if you just pick the right spot and hitch back and forth every time 1 km (e.g. between traffic lights or busstops). I don't mind it's inclusion that much. --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
:: It is not the sense of a record to just hitch back and forth to break it. I think this is very silly discussion. I wonder what your purpose for this is. Also i am suprised, why you depreciate this so vehement. Even two times in this discussion. It is neither polite, nor does it make any sense. You could also say "Lowest temperature is very easy to beat, you just have to go to russiaRussia, wait for the coldest winter and then catch a ride". You can also beat the last record and just give some random hitchhiker 300€. --[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 19:45, 22 September 2015 (CEST)
::: The lowest and highest temperatures encountered while hitchhiking and the money given to a hitchhiker are three records that have absolutely nothing to do with hitchhiking. I do not know why they were ever added to the VAK page, and neither do I feel any sympathy for Ken Welsh "Slowest ride between two points", when no sane hitchhiker would ever spend 4:30 on a milkfloat to cover a distance they could have covered on foot in 30 minutes.

"Further reference" makes sense to me in this article and can stay.
Maybe the "Guiness Guinness Book of Records Hitchhiking" fit more into another article about the History of Hitchhiking within the Guiness Guinness Book.
: ''No, they are records, no need to create more pages.''
Actually listing all the times from each year is not a record at all. Furthermore i I still dont think anyone is interested in it. If you want to keep it, then keep the actual record time. But for a general overview in this article, i I would exclude all records that are regarding to a specific route, just because it is getting too much and you can theoretically put and route in it, you want.--[[User:Korn|Korn]] ([[User talk:Korn|talk]]) 05:29, 21 September 2015 (CEST) :: Yes, you can put any route in it, and just like with Wikipedia, irrelevant data would be removed again.

:: The GBOR hitchhiking records were top of the pops in the pre-internet times, times when hitch-hiking was a tad less of a society-marginal activity and hence these records deserve a lot of respect. Land's End to John O Goats was then true such thing that hitch-hikers would like to beat in order to be recorded in the new edition of the GBOR. If we every would like to see hitch-hiking records come back to the GBOR, I think we should at least keep them in here! --[[User:Fverhart|Fverhart]] ([[User talk:Fverhart|talk]]) 10:23, 21 September 2015 (CEST)
::: I know, but that's not a reason to not use internationally accepted date and time formats, or proper English! Every flipping browser has spell-check dictionaries in every language (except of course stuff from Redmond), so it's very easy to use them. Dittor with another of my pet peeves, gas versus petrol: in Europe we use petrol and get it in petrol stations, in the US they use gas and get it in gas stations!
