:00:47. > :00:53.(reveille). First of all, welcome boys, let me introduce you quickly
:00:53. > :00:57.to the rules. You do not leave the campsite for any reason at all. You
:00:57. > :01:01.do not enter the marquee if you are wearing a hat. Water fights, there
:01:01. > :01:05.are three people not allowed to get wet, the oak, the officer of the
:01:05. > :01:09.day, and myself. Everybody else, including Mr Cutts is fair game.
:01:09. > :01:13.The first job we have now, let's unload the van and we will tell you
:01:13. > :01:23.where all the stuff will go. Once we do that, we will gather again
:01:23. > :01:24.
:01:24. > :01:31.and start camp proper. All right? Good, up we go then.
:01:31. > :01:34.At white cliff bay, ob on the Isle of Wight -- on the Isle of Wight,
:01:34. > :01:44.you can see something that is happening all around Britain as a

:01:49. > :01:53.result of the recession, camping is In this small corner of the island,
:01:53. > :02:02.are a cluster of campsites, each providing a different type of
:02:02. > :02:05.holiday for Britain's growing army of campers.
:02:05. > :02:12.It's on the slope, a bit of a nightmare.
:02:13. > :02:18.I'm in the middle. Op -- on the right. I'm scared of
:02:18. > :02:24.spiders and all sorts. I hate caravans! That's a flea.
:02:24. > :02:29.This is the story of a handful of seasoned caravanners. Bit more, bit
:02:29. > :02:39.treading on egg shells. And some of camping's newest recruits. I think
:02:39. > :03:12.
:03:12. > :03:17.Morning ladies. Morning. Alan joined the 2nd Enfield Boys'
:03:17. > :03:21.Brigade at the age of nine, and has worked his way up the ranks to
:03:21. > :03:27.become Company Captain. Hello boys, how are you this morning, no
:03:27. > :03:32.headache, no shivers. First parade eight minutes. Are you all right
:03:32. > :03:36.Tom? Come on boys. Shake a leg. This year he has brought 18 boys to
:03:36. > :03:46.camp, seven of them are here for the first time, and about to start
:03:46. > :03:48.
:03:48. > :03:54.learning the ropes. Morning Reece. Ten kilos of potatos to peel,
:03:54. > :04:04.straight away, please. Out of your pit now, come on.
:04:04. > :04:10.OK, first parade. Come on tent one, John, up. OK,
:04:11. > :04:14.tent inspection is in 50 minutes, parade. Parade full, out.
:04:14. > :04:19.We have boys that are going to private school, we have boys going
:04:19. > :04:26.to grammar school, and we have boys that are going to state secondary
:04:26. > :04:32.modern, or whatever they are called now. But here they are all the same.
:04:32. > :04:36.Reece, pull your shorts up, clau! We don't differentiate, I just want
:04:36. > :04:40.to take boys off the street, if you like, so they are not running
:04:40. > :04:44.around doing nothing, they are doing something creative. It is a
:04:44. > :04:48.very robust week, it runs to a very strict timetable. They have to do
:04:48. > :04:51.potato peeling in the morning, they have to wash their stuff up after
:04:51. > :04:57.the meals. They have tent inspection, table inspection, it is
:04:57. > :05:07.making me sound like I'm a massive disciplinarian. A lot of fun
:05:07. > :05:09.
:05:09. > :05:15.involved. It is good fun! 29 minutes.
:05:15. > :05:19.we're having tent inspection. We take out our stuff, and clean our
:05:19. > :05:23.tent and get marked for it. boys are divided into three tents,
:05:23. > :05:30.with each tent competing against the others to win points, based on
:05:30. > :05:33.daily tasks and contests. minutes. 1-8. A lot of schools
:05:33. > :05:40.nowadays don't do competitions and everybody gets a medal whether you
:05:40. > :05:45.come first or last, that is not real life any more. It never is,
:05:45. > :05:52.once you get out into the real world, you don't get a pat on the
:05:52. > :05:58.back for not doing something, and we have to teach them. Two of our
:05:58. > :06:03.guys had to go to hospital, one got bitten on his neck, had he some
:06:03. > :06:08.lump, and Jem either broke his toe or sprained it, nobody really knows
:06:08. > :06:13.at the moment. This is Matthew's fourth year at camp, he's been
:06:13. > :06:23.appointed second in command of his tent. His younger brother, Anthony,
:06:23. > :06:26.
:06:26. > :06:30.is now old enough to come to camp for the first time.
:06:30. > :06:35.Tent inspection. That tent there has a bottle on the floor. Anthony
:06:35. > :06:41.and his tent mate Joseph are exempt from the inspection, because they
:06:41. > :06:44.have been on potato peeling business. It is different from home,
:06:44. > :06:48.sitting around watching TV, there is a lot more stuff to do around
:06:48. > :06:52.here, it is all fields and beach and stuff. In the suburbs there is
:06:52. > :06:57.hardly anything to do. Because my brother has been here for four
:06:57. > :07:01.years, I have been at home all of the time, while he has been here.
:07:01. > :07:05.Obviously I wasn't old enough. Normal low you spend most of the
:07:05. > :07:09.time -- normally you spend most of the time with my mum. It is really
:07:09. > :07:16.good for me, it is good for her, just get on with it. But there are
:07:16. > :07:23.some points in the day that I feel home sick.
:07:23. > :07:28.What are you thinking at the moment? I don't know.
:07:28. > :07:32.I'm thinking porridge and sasauges because I'm hungry. Porridge.
:07:32. > :07:42.thinking food, I didn't eat a lot yesterday because I wasn't well,
:07:42. > :07:44.
:07:44. > :07:48.I'm starving this morning. Mark deducted. The Boys' Brigade
:07:48. > :07:53.campsite, up on the hillside at white cliff bay, is where youth
:07:53. > :07:58.groups and churches can come and stay at reduced rates. A few fields
:07:58. > :08:08.away are two holiday parks, with static caravans, chalets and
:08:08. > :08:22.
:08:22. > :08:26.camping pitches, as well as family With two little girls of their own,
:08:26. > :08:32.and their older boys from previous relationships, Vicky and Greg's
:08:32. > :08:42.challenge is how to keep everyone happy on holiday.
:08:42. > :08:43.
:08:43. > :08:53.What's going on at the moment decide that is what we might do
:08:53. > :08:55.
:08:55. > :09:03.swimming. Because he's not very keen, are you? We would like to do
:09:03. > :09:13.stuff that he would like to do, wants to do. I would rather go
:09:13. > :09:14.
:09:14. > :09:19.I'm sure we will be going to me, they forget the little things I
:09:19. > :09:27.do do, like cleaning the poo out of the toilet, going to get the water,
:09:27. > :09:32.taking the dirty water away. Ideally I would like to be on a
:09:32. > :09:37.cruise somewhere, that was one of the best holidays we had. What can
:09:37. > :09:40.kennels. That is not what I had children for, I enjoy being with
:09:40. > :09:44.the children and seeing them happy, that is what a holiday for me is
:09:44. > :09:49.all about, seeing them, seeing the things I used to do when I was
:09:49. > :09:54.little through their eyes. That is what I get out of it. It is the
:09:54. > :10:02.freedom they can have here, it is fantastic. We moan about them, and
:10:02. > :10:10.they are never satisfied, they are have children. Because we love
:10:10. > :10:19.getting screamed at. That is what we are here for. Is everybody
:10:19. > :10:27.hungry? You bet your life we are. Is everybody brown? Bolla.
:10:27. > :10:35.The only woman allowed at camp is Alan's wife, Angela. She started
:10:35. > :10:39.and it comes to camp every year. I because they will scratch it to
:10:40. > :10:46.death. The impression I have got, they spend so much time with
:10:46. > :10:53.computer games, and so much time with hand-held gadgets, and TV, and
:10:53. > :11:03.things, I always wonder how they to do these activities. But I think
:11:03. > :11:12.
:11:12. > :11:17.going to be a good camp. Gentleman for table inspection, let's make it
:11:17. > :11:23.good, go. We have to clean the table and the
:11:23. > :11:33.we can. Namdi get a tea towel. Namdi start doing the thing, get
:11:33. > :11:37.
:11:37. > :11:46.the dishes up. Look at that! Don't stuff. I enjoy it. Just take as bit
:11:46. > :11:51.Probably next camp, or something, I will be used to it. You lost marks
:11:51. > :11:58.yesterday, take it off, wash it properly. This is dirty water
:11:58. > :12:07.though. It's OK, wash it properly. It's disgusting. I sometimes want
:12:07. > :12:15.to interfere with some of the gosh, don't talk to them like that,
:12:15. > :12:24.later on in life they will be, they will think, I'm stupid, or I'm this
:12:24. > :12:32.or that. 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1. He's well run

:12:36. > :12:40.Like most of the new boys, this is Tom's first week away from his
:12:40. > :12:45.parents. I'm looking for my hat. It has
:12:45. > :12:55.disappeared. We think it's in the tent somewhere. I'm going to look
:12:55. > :13:00.
:13:00. > :13:07.there. What are you doing, Alan? Checking
:13:07. > :13:14.for cleanliness, primarily. Obviously to make sure that all the
:13:14. > :13:18.cutry and -- cuttlery and everything is clean. If it is not
:13:18. > :13:26.facing inwards they lose a quarter of the mark. Soap in the cup,
:13:26. > :13:31.Michael has run out of time. That is completely not acceptable.
:13:31. > :13:34.They should be equal distance away, slightly out, spot on. Very good,
:13:34. > :13:38.you see. One of the objects of the Boys' Brigade is discipline. You
:13:38. > :13:48.need discipline in life, if you don't have it, you will not get on
:13:48. > :13:48.
:13:48. > :13:57.in life, you will not get a decent job, you just end up, I don't know.
:13:57. > :14:01.I don't want to say, I'm not going to say that.
:14:01. > :14:11.I knew when I was looking at it, there was something wrong here. The
:14:11. > :14:11.
:14:11. > :14:19.cups are completely on the wrong side, that should be that side.
:14:19. > :14:24.Like that. I'm looking for my coat. I'll go
:14:24. > :14:30.and have a look for it, is it definitely not in your case. I have
:14:30. > :14:38.been looking in my bags and I can't find it. Tom, where is your hat?
:14:38. > :14:42.it is in the medical tent, because the hatband broke, and then we put
:14:42. > :14:45.it in the stores tent, and then it went missing, and they found it
:14:46. > :14:53.again, and it is in the medical tent at the moment.
:14:53. > :15:03.It is the biggest hat so far. I'm hoping it will win the hat

:16:58. > :17:04.worry about it, go for it, if you mess up with the timing, who cares,
:17:04. > :17:14.yeah. Thank you very much. See you later

:17:34. > :17:39.The church have invited newcomer Michael to join them on holiday,
:17:39. > :17:44.following the recent death of his cousin. My cousin passed away, he
:17:45. > :17:49.got murdered, shot to death and that. It has been hard-mitting,
:17:49. > :17:55.because it does hurt. It is too much. Do you know what I mean. It
:17:55. > :18:00.is too much, it is a bit difficult when you are on holiday. When your
:18:00. > :18:05.emotions are in a position that's a bit negative, you don't want to
:18:05. > :18:14.kill people's joy, you don't want to bring things up.
:18:14. > :18:20.You do put on the smile, just because you see everyone truly
:18:20. > :18:24.enjoying themselves. Michael, one of the things that he said to me,
:18:24. > :18:29.he says he has run out of fingers on his hands for the number of
:18:29. > :18:34.people he knows that have been shot and killed. When you lose a loved
:18:34. > :18:44.one, there is no doing OK. Michael has understood that with friends,
:18:44. > :19:11.
:19:11. > :19:18.but now he understands it with Am I ugly enough! Oliver is a bit
:19:18. > :19:27.dirty, so we will have to dress me up. At seven, Adam's already an old

:19:47. > :19:52.great kid, I'm biased, I know. might get stage fright? You haven't
:19:53. > :20:01.had that before, have you? I get nervous for him, yeah, I do get
:20:01. > :20:08.nervous for him. He just doesn't seem to have any nerves. If I win,
:20:08. > :20:17.I will face the champions of the whole country. They will perform
:20:17. > :20:24.the grand prize, which is about �50,000-�60,000. How would you like
:20:24. > :20:29.to win �50,000-�60,000. That will be very nice, that is not what
:20:29. > :20:38.people will win. It is not about winning, what do we say? It is
:20:38. > :20:42.about taking part. I'm not doing it for the
:20:42. > :20:50.competition, I'm doing to enjoy it. Even when I do it in school, I do
:20:50. > :20:55.it to have fun. It is a bonus then if you come first. I'm singing
:20:55. > :21:00.Delilah by Tom Jones, it is a boyfriend, girlfriend breaking up,
:21:00. > :21:05.and the boyfriend going to the house, but things get a little bit

:21:13. > :21:20.He should have some good support tonight, there will be about ten of
:21:20. > :21:25.us. His mother, Maxine, Spencer, his brother, his auntie Linda, his

:22:08. > :22:12.Ha ha. Ha ha.

:22:20. > :22:24.peaceful. Let me turn him round. It's his way
:22:24. > :22:28.of relaxing, it is my way of getting stressed. I wouldn't really
:22:28. > :22:33.like to be sitting round there, on my own, turning over burgers, I
:22:33. > :22:40.would probably try and think of something else to do, try and
:22:40. > :22:49.multitask, and the burgers would burn, so.
:22:49. > :22:54.Oi, what's going on in there. (kids screaming) I want my own wine! I
:22:54. > :23:01.want my own wine! You're not having wine Connie. Please mummy. You just
:23:01. > :23:06.think about that before you do it. I'll go and get some wine. You just
:23:06. > :23:11.dare. I think you know when you meet the right person, everything
:23:11. > :23:15.seems to gel. We have our moments. It might not look it to everybody
:23:15. > :23:21.else, but to us this is stress-free. We have had a good time, the

:32:52. > :32:55.
:32:55. > :33:02.There we go. You look a bit sad? Yeah, but as
:33:02. > :33:12.you can see it is happy tears, I always get them.
:33:12. > :33:21.
:33:21. > :33:26.Happy tears? Your mic stopped working at one point. It did.
:33:26. > :33:29.just does it for the fun of it, he doesn't care if he comes first and
:33:29. > :33:34.second, he just enjoys it, that is what it is all about in life,
:33:34. > :33:40.enjoying what you do. If you can win you win, if you can't, you just
:33:40. > :33:46.enjoy yourself you enjoyed yourself. Congratulations.
:33:46. > :33:56.There we are. Come on let's go back to the mob
:33:56. > :33:56.
:33:56. > :34:38.Apology for the loss of subtitles for 41 seconds
:34:38. > :34:44.5, 10, 15, 25020. Come on. seconds.
:34:44. > :34:50.On your marks, get set, go. Just timing them on their timed race up
:34:50. > :34:54.between Oliver and Kirsty, just to burn some energy off so they sleep
:34:54. > :34:58.well. 25, 27 seconds. That was cheating, because you pushed it
:34:58. > :35:05.back up instead of scooting. you have a go and I will get my
:35:05. > :35:11.phone and time. I will have your watch and time you. I will be hours
:35:11. > :35:15.not seconds. My back restricts me, the problems with my back restricts
:35:15. > :35:20.me, activity-wise, over the years it has progressed and progressed,
:35:20. > :35:25.gradually worse. A few operations to ease the ailments, it has stayed
:35:25. > :35:29.steady for a good amount of time, hopefully things are static now.
:35:29. > :35:33.Just carry on with what we are doing with the kids. Paul has
:35:33. > :35:42.always been a keen camper. But he had to convince Karen that bringing
:35:42. > :35:49.the kids camping would be fun for her too. I did camping a lot when I
:35:49. > :35:58.was little. But I'm finding it harder as I get older. You like
:35:58. > :36:02.your MoD-cons. I know it is great for the kids. I don't think I would
:36:02. > :36:07.come again. Dad could come with three kids. You could stay in a
:36:07. > :36:13.hotel nearby. I could, make you jealous, flushing toilets and tele.
:36:14. > :36:23.I don't miss it at all, not having it. Seems a lot of people have
:36:24. > :36:28.
:36:28. > :36:35.Ten-minute warning forfeits feets. How can you describe -- For Feats
:36:35. > :36:40.of Strength feets. How can you describe Feats of Strength. It
:36:40. > :36:44.wears them out. Hanging on to the bar, push-ups, heavy stuff we need
:36:44. > :36:48.to carry from one end to another. It is another element of
:36:48. > :36:51.competition. I said that, listen. Everything we do throughout the
:36:51. > :37:00.whole week is competitive, inter- tent and against the staff. Which
:37:00. > :37:05.tent do you think will win? Tent two. Tent three. Tent three,
:37:05. > :37:08.because we are sporting. There is a sense of the ridiculous, the
:37:08. > :37:18.pointlessness of it. This will be my fourth year, I won't get wet,
:37:18. > :37:48.
:37:48. > :37:56.not on this one. You're all right, man.
:37:57. > :38:06.What is to beat? 1.56 innit. Ahhh. Are you trying to get to two
:38:07. > :38:06.
:38:07. > :38:12.minutes? 2.10. Ahhhh. The beauty of a waterproof coat.
:38:12. > :38:17.Well done, 2.12. Look how dry I am with the waterproof coat. I think
:38:17. > :38:21.it is going to be tired now, because there is different people
:38:21. > :38:29.good at different things in the tent, so like overall it is a bit
:38:29. > :38:33.difficult. At least if we lose we lose with dignity. Tent three down
:38:33. > :38:38.here. One of the officers in charge of entertainment is Alan's step-son,
:38:38. > :38:48.Chris. He has been with the Boys' Brigade since the age of five, he
:38:48. > :38:50.
:38:50. > :38:55.left briefly at 18. Then my mum, who obviously oaks here, she is --
:38:55. > :38:59.cooks here, she asked me to come back to help as staff. I couldn't
:38:59. > :39:04.believe I had missed it, I was asked on a lads holiday next year,
:39:04. > :39:08.and I would rather be at camp. A lot of camps on the Isle of Wight
:39:08. > :39:12.won't even have an entertainments programme, they let the kids have
:39:12. > :39:19.free time. I think problems develop when they are allowed to do what
:39:19. > :39:27.they want to do, they get edgey and start mucking around. Want me to
:39:27. > :39:35.have your glasses. Don't want them to get broken. John, go, go. They
:39:35. > :39:39.won't have a week like this never their life, it is make sure they
:39:39. > :39:46.have a good time. All the ones here, apart from the first year, were
:39:46. > :39:53.here last year. Did we win? I don't know where they are, I have lost
:39:53. > :40:03.them. Wrfrpblgts are they? -- Why are they? Tom they are
:40:03. > :40:39.
:40:39. > :40:47.Just thinking the difference, the contrast of like the past two weeks,
:40:47. > :40:52.and then I'm up here next to sea, sand, sun. The people around me
:40:52. > :41:02.that care, all of that. I know that just back in London, my aunt is
:41:02. > :41:08.
:41:08. > :41:14.still grieving, there is rioting, It doesn't really matter, this life
:41:14. > :41:19.doesn't matter this much, it is the other one that matters the most.
:41:19. > :41:25.It's all going to come to an end, whether you get cancer or live for
:41:25. > :41:33.100 years, everybody is gonna die. So when my cousin died, it hurts to
:41:34. > :41:43.know it was cut short, either way, everybody will die. How old was he?
:41:44. > :42:06.
:42:06. > :42:10.He was 18. He just got shot. It's Coming up here, has helped me to
:42:10. > :42:14.heal up. When you are up here, you are in peace, you are all right. Do
:42:14. > :42:19.you know what I mean, the camp as well, I'm camping, doing things
:42:19. > :42:23.that are just not the norm. Being around nature, right now I'm around
:42:23. > :42:29.water, it's all claustrophobic in London. You are on buses that are
:42:29. > :42:36.crowded, you are on cars that are in traffic. Up here you've got
:42:36. > :42:41.space, no traffic, no noise, you got nature, you can just appreciate
:42:41. > :42:47.God's creations and that. See certain animals that you don't
:42:47. > :42:52.usually see. Like what sort of animals? Not animals, you know,
:42:52. > :42:57.insects, actually. Not that I appreciate them, but little things
:42:57. > :43:03.that wildlife, things you don't come across all the time. I have
:43:03. > :43:08.seen cows, sheep, goats. I have seen people riding horses, just
:43:08. > :43:18.normally like they are cars and that.
:43:18. > :43:34.
:43:34. > :43:44.Grab him! Grab him! Grab him. Towards the end of the week, the
:43:44. > :43:49.
:43:49. > :43:54.new boys are getting into the swing of things at camp. Ahhhh, ahhh.
:43:54. > :43:58.It's fun. You won't know that much, it is only your first year. Yeah.
:43:58. > :44:06.You have to find out. One part of me, I do feel a little bit home
:44:06. > :44:10.sick, but the other part, I have got a -- gotta think, she needs her
:44:10. > :44:15.time, and it is good fun to come here and play with our friends, it
:44:15. > :44:20.is a win-win. When you come away, just make sure you behave, if you
:44:20. > :44:25.behave you can do loads more stuff. You will enjoy yourself more. If
:44:25. > :44:29.you don't behave, it will probably be a weekend wasted, basically. The
:44:29. > :44:34.more you behave, the more things you get to do.
:44:34. > :44:42.Good old fashioned fun, there is no substitute for it. It is harmless,
:44:42. > :44:52.at the end of the day. Boys will be boys. I think they are not allowed
:44:52. > :44:53.
:44:53. > :45:00.to be any more. We had a mastive bundle in the
:45:00. > :45:05.field -- massive bundle last night, every member of the camp was being
:45:05. > :45:10.jumped on by the boys, that is boys being boys, some of the boys
:45:10. > :45:13.haven't got a father at home to do that. They can't have that manly
:45:13. > :45:18.thing where they challenge authority, they can't do it in that
:45:18. > :45:26.sort of environment, here they can. We throw them simply across back
:45:26. > :45:32.the field, they bounce, and they steam straight in there. Omph, oh!
:45:32. > :45:36.Good lad, are you all right Namdi. I'm all right? Yeah, see! You know.
:45:36. > :45:42.Seeing some of these things that these lads are doing now, with this.
:45:42. > :45:45.They would never do this at home? If they did, they would then
:45:45. > :45:51.probably they would have the police down on them, or they would cause a
:45:51. > :45:58.riot, this is harmless fun, they happen to be water brom bombing the
:45:58. > :46:08.Bromley Girls' Brigade -- promably -- bombing the Bromley Girls'
:46:08. > :46:09.
:46:09. > :46:18.Brigade at the moment. My good is stuck under that rock.
:46:18. > :46:23.You hold your hand there. Don't slip over!
:46:23. > :46:28.Dad, mind out your shoes. I haven't got them on. Are you just going to
:46:28. > :46:33.leave them there? No, somebody else can have them, I don't need them.
:46:33. > :46:39.Look he has grabbed hold of the Spam and he's eating it, look.
:46:39. > :46:45.Karen never wanted any children. But here we are with three of them
:46:45. > :46:48.now. I'm not maternal at all, not until I met Paul, really. I wasn't
:46:48. > :46:57.getting married, hated boys. The thing is, with children you can't
:46:57. > :47:02.go further afield, like you used to. It clips your wings a little bit.
:47:02. > :47:06.Lauren is 12, nearly 13, the other day she was bringing the shampoo
:47:06. > :47:10.home, she kept dropping it, she came in and said it's your fault
:47:10. > :47:16.this shampoo is falling on the floor, and she threw it in the tent.
:47:16. > :47:22.That was my fault, because she wasn't holding it properly.
:47:22. > :47:27.even told us she wouldn't be a a typical teenager. When my sister is
:47:27. > :47:32.having kids, and I was always around with my sister's kids, I
:47:32. > :47:39.could cope with it, I thought I could be a dad. I can handle that.
:47:39. > :47:44.How is he doing so far? Not that bad, OK. Do I pass the test. Just
:47:44. > :47:49.skimmed it. Only joking. There must be a child's aspect, a child's view
:47:49. > :47:56.of parents. Firm but fair. Is that what we are? No, I wouldn't say,
:47:56. > :48:06.firm, but you are fair.Am I. That's all right. Firm but fair and the
:48:06. > :48:14.best dad in the world. Don't push it! Wow, look at him.
:48:14. > :48:24.It won't eat them. Leave him mum. Let him walk off the edge.
:48:24. > :48:47.
:48:47. > :48:54.There you go. There he is. Ten-minute warning Beach Parade,
:48:54. > :48:58.hat judging and Beach Olympics. 'S gonna win the Big Hat
:48:58. > :49:01.Competition it's going to win it, nobody has a hat bigger than his,
:49:01. > :49:11.unless they have folded it up and put it in their suitcase. I will
:49:11. > :49:23.
:49:23. > :49:27.see you in the Biggest Hat I made it with my mum and dad,
:49:27. > :49:33.because they wouldn't let me use the scalpel by myself, because I
:49:33. > :49:43.might cut off my sister's head. But I won't. She's my sister. I better
:49:43. > :49:44.
:49:44. > :49:51.go and get ready now. Have you got a Sheriff's badge,
:49:51. > :50:01.Dairy Milk, none of them in the old days! We have jeans, checkered
:50:01. > :50:02.
:50:02. > :50:06.shirt, waistcoat, no-one did a good hat these days. He's wearing it?
:50:07. > :50:11.What Euan's? No on Tom's head. Tom's, that hat is absolutely
:50:11. > :50:20.brilliant, remind me at teatime, it is an extra ten points for the hat.
:50:20. > :50:26.Tent two, this is excellent duff, have you got one? Have you lost it.
:50:26. > :50:29.Extra ten points. Are you pleased? Yeah. We always lose, it doesn't
:50:29. > :50:39.matter. We are good at losing, that is the whole point of our tent,
:50:39. > :50:56.
:50:56. > :51:06.Hey John, come on, man. Now Billy.
:51:06. > :51:17.
:51:17. > :51:27.Oh, oh. Good one! 3-2-1, go! You've gone it,
:51:27. > :51:45.
:51:45. > :51:52.For the Boys' Brigade, the climax of the intertent competition is an
:51:52. > :51:58.afternoon of Beach Olympics. First place tent 1, second place staff,
:51:58. > :52:08.third place tent three, last place tent two.
:52:08. > :52:20.
:52:20. > :52:24.Nice and gentle. Don't move, don't even nod, do you
:52:25. > :52:28.understand, good, that means you do. Last competition for the Beach
:52:28. > :52:32.Olympics is basically the first years get wrapped up as a mummy,
:52:32. > :52:39.what they don't know is the rest of the company are off doing something
:52:39. > :52:44.else. We do mark them on how well the mummy is wrapped, but they
:52:44. > :52:51.don't know that we don't care what is happening, eventually one of
:52:51. > :53:01.them might twig, but that's it. That's a mean game? Camp is mean in
:53:01. > :53:18.
:53:18. > :53:23.Crabbing, never done that before, I didn't even know there were crabs
:53:23. > :53:31.in the UK. Can I keep this, dad? What are you going to call him?
:53:31. > :53:41.A lot of things I want to do before I'm gone, fishing all day! I want
:53:41. > :53:43.
:53:43. > :53:50.to see a waterfall. I live waterfall, dive off of it, I want
:53:50. > :53:58.to go skiing, I want to deep-sea dive in the coral blue stuff. I've
:53:58. > :54:02.got the crab. Cool. The world is a big place, I
:54:03. > :54:12.probably won't get to travel it all any way. One down, how many more to
:54:13. > :54:37.
:54:37. > :54:41.APPLAUSE I would just like to say, thank you
:54:41. > :54:47.for everything you lot have been here through a difficult time. You
:54:47. > :54:52.have all helped to uplift my spirit, in unique ways. It has been good,
:54:52. > :54:56.seeing games and all of that, and being able to get away from my
:54:56. > :55:06.usual environment. I really appreciate, may God bless you all.
:55:06. > :55:14.
:55:15. > :55:22.It's all coming to an end. It is a blessing, you know. It is something
:55:22. > :55:26.that I would encourage a lot of my friend back home to do.
:55:27. > :55:31.I come down, it don't matter if you feel like a bit of a nerd or
:55:31. > :55:38.whatever, just feel free, mess around.
:55:38. > :55:43.# Thank you today # Thank you to dog too. I'm not
:55:43. > :55:47.going to miss the insects though, I am not going to miss that. I can't
:55:47. > :55:54.wait to get home and have a hot shower and that.
:55:54. > :56:04.See you Sunday. See you Sunday. Take care man. See you on Sunday.
:56:04. > :56:13.
:56:13. > :56:17.See you Sunday. Good job. Dog. Going home today, we have to get
:56:17. > :56:24.everything in the field packed up before we have to leave, to go to
:56:24. > :56:33.the ferry. To get back into England. It has been one of the best times
:56:33. > :56:40.of my life so far. I can't wait until next year. It's quite sad
:56:40. > :56:47.actually today. The week has gone quite quickly, I always feel I miss
:56:47. > :56:50.a lot during the week because of this. But seeing them exhausted,
:56:50. > :56:56.and when they are getting back to the hall and seeing their faces
:56:56. > :57:00.when they see their parents. That is lovely as well. It is a nice
:57:00. > :57:04.feeling today. Far too tired to be sad, to be honest, I think relief
:57:04. > :57:09.is the biggest thing, that it has gone well, that is it is over. We
:57:09. > :57:15.have one boy that lost half his toenail this morning after kicking
:57:15. > :57:18.something, his parents will be spending the evening down at north
:57:18. > :57:22.Middlesex Hospital, no doubt. If you forgive me, I have stuff to do.
:57:22. > :57:31.If you don't mind. In one way I want to stay here, in another way I
:57:32. > :57:38.want to go home, I am a mummy's boy, so. You're the baby. Yeah. I think
:57:38. > :57:43.she's missing us. Yeah, probably. Unless someone's eating it, it is
:57:43. > :57:48.on the van. If not, you can always buy your sister a new one.
:57:48. > :57:53.sister's hobby horse that she lent me has gone missing, the head has
