Mums join in nappy record attempt
A GROUP of toddlers and mums had a happy nappy time in Exeter as part of a bid to set a new world record.
Exeter was one of 400 locations across the globe where parents gathered in a bid to change the most cloth nappies at the same time.

Organisers were hoping that thousands of parents across the world would join in.
Exeter's part in the proceedings was held at Rougemont Gardens, behind Exeter Central Library.
It was supported by the Devon Real Nappy Project. The project is part of the Don't Let Devon go to Waste campaign.
Campaigners say using real nappies can save £500 on average compared to disposables, including washing costs.
They also argue real nappies are better for the environment and their use helps reduce the 28 million disposable nappies buried in Devon's landfill sites each year.
