Well, just to let you know that the other day I DID get a response back from Guinness-although it was slightly more 'abrupt' then I thought it would be. 
Bearing in mind that I originally used the Tallest Person scenario, the response was has followed (and this is in it's entirety and unedited):
[i]Dear <My Name>,
Thank you for your enquiry.
We do not recognise records that are sub-categorised by country. All of our records, such as the one for the tallest person, are ones that encompass the entire world.
We do not monitor records for the “Tallest person in x country.â€
Kind regards,
Guinness World Records
[/i]
Sssoooo......if they recognize World Records purely on a GLOBAL scale rather then the individuals point of origin (has I think they are implying) then the fact that Leanne is bigger surely only means that[i] SHE [/i]is officially the Largest Natural UK woman, if I understand the above correctly.
Still not [i]entirely[/i] sure about this, but if they themselves say that's how they work things out then I'm ready to go with them on that.
