A British young man has given new meaning to the phrase "high tea" - writing his name into the record books in the process.

Simon Berry, 24, from Sheffield, has become a Guinness World Record holder after completing the highest bungee dunk, combining his passions for biscuits and bungees.

The ponytailed tea drinker leapt from a platform around 75m (246ft) above the ground to plant his biscuit into a tea-filled Union flag mug below, The Telegraph reports.

Speaking after his feat in Bray, Berkshire, Mr Berry said: "It was pretty difficult - the team helped by getting me roughly in there in the right place, but going down and having to nail that cup of tea was pretty tricky.

"(It was) absolutely incredible - the feeling in my chest and seeing everyone's smiles, it was fantastic."

Mr Berry's bungee dunk was one of a number of challenges confirmed as part of Guinness World Records Day.
