NORTH-East pub-goers last night swapped their pints for tea and biscuits to take part in a record-breaking attempt.
Drinkers at the Walkabout Australian theme pub in North Road, Durham, joined about 30,000 people across the UK for a taste of Down Under.
They took part in the Tim Tam Slam, an Antipodean custom where participants bite opposing corners off the Tim Tam - a hollow chocolate biscuit - and use it as a straw to suck up a hot beverage. The event brought ex-pats together to celebrate Australia Day.
