Yeah, wouldn't recommend that, though it's a charity record (albeit one strongly supporting the public healthcare service in the UK). I'd rather use one of the facts conveniently located in the "Records" section of that list. On 25 December 2015 at 21:55, Pine W &lt;wiki.pine(a)gmail.com&gt; wrote: > I like this in principle.

I like the idea of doing a tweet. One idea below, not sure if it's best to say raising money for The NHS (who we can ping) or just charity. In the footsteps of @QueenWillRock and @thebeatles @Choir_NHS runs away with the UK Christmas Number 1 this time raising money for charity!
