Contribution to the warmington spitfire fund procession next saturday as you know the object of the exercise is to raise a further two thousand pounds which the town still needs before it can buy its first spitfire yes sir i don't want anyone outside our own
Ranks to know what we're planning uh until the actual day so before we start our rehearsal are you quite sure that there's no one else on the premises right yourself what about the doors they're all locked well i'm glad about that i don't fancy the idea of people rushing in and trying to put us out of our misery meet up with that defeatist talk i know we're not exactly the huddersfield choral society
But all we need is sufficient rehearsal uh what five years might do it now before we start a word about costumes i've been doing the matter a good deal of thought and i think that the most suitable tower would be simple cornish yokel smocks where are we going to get them from from a simple cornish now on saturday when we've completed our rendition of the cornish floral dance
We will need someone to collect money from the crowd learning he'll deserve a medal for bravery i shall ignore that remark walker by way of a sort of extra excitement i've arranged to hire a small horse's head from firm of theatrical costumers in eastbourne and this will be worn by the person collecting the money
A bigger problem bottom sir i expect the horse's head was worn by the fella that played in shakespeare's midsummer night's dream me oh i see you yeah [Music] anyway on this occasion it will be worn by sergeant wilson who will be collecting the money from the crop i don't think i really like the idea of asking strangers for money no don't be
