Big banger bid beaten

A bid to grill the world's largest sausage failed after gale force gusts put paid to attempts to light a giant barbecue.

Eighty cooks from Leipzig in Germany had created a 333 metre long sausage that required 294 grills laid end to end to cook it.

But after the first few grills had been lit the strong winds scattered the burning charcoal, causing the risk of a fire, and forcing the cooks to call off the world record attempt.
