John head balances 4 very large water butts - Brown's the Trade Builders, Derby October 26, 2012John head balances 10 fire bins - Brown's the Trade Builders, Derby October 26, 2012John head balances 6 wheelbarrows - Brown's the Trade Builders, Derby October 26, 2012John head his Tardis - Brown's the Trade Builders, Derby October 26, 2012Aged 65 and with a nasty cold, you'd think John Evans might have muffled himself up and passed the afternoon in front of a roaring fire. Instead, the retired builder spent nearly an hour lifting huge and awkward items on his head, raising more than £1,000 for charity.

A woolly scarf was his only concession to the chill weather and his sore throat. The effort brought pleasure to hundreds of people who attended the event at Brown's the Builders Trade Centre on London Road, Derby on October 26, 2012.

The money went to the Derby-based charity Umbrella, which helps sick children and their parents through bad times.

The retired bricklayer said: "I was really delighted to have done it. You don't want to let people down.

"I've always been fit and never had a day off in my life but this was the worst cold I'd ever had.

"Even geting off the sofa was a struggle and it was really bad when I bent forward. But you just have to get on with it," added John after the effort.

He began by balancing four very large water butts on his head and then did the same with ten dustbins which are made to contain a small fire and have chimneys in their lids. After that he balanced six wheelbarrows and a cement mixer - before ending the show with his latest prop, which could become almost as famous as the car he has raised in shows around the world.

John, a skilled handyman, created a Tardis from the legendary BBC TV Dr Who series. The large blue box - which resembles a police telephone booth - has been fitted with flashing lights and theatrical smoke. It brought pleasure to Dr Who fans of all ages.

Now John is to send details of his fire dustbin lift to Guinness and the Record Holders' Republic to get the achievement recognised as another world first.
