Coco nuts make worlds longest doormat
An Indian doormat maker claims to have the best way to stop dirt getting in the house in the current bad weather - after inventing the world's longest doormat measuring more than 330 feet.
The mat made by the company Travancore Cocotuft Ltd is just over 1.2 metres (4ft) wide, 101.6 metres (333.3ft) long and weighs 999 kg.
Company spokesman Alfred Michel said: "Guinness World Records have asked us for the basic information and we are in the process of preparing that and once they are convinced, they will visit us to see the doormat."
The mat made of 470,000 tufts of coir hair taken from the outside of coconuts took six months to make.
