00:00Oh, I can hear Christmas tree burning. Come out the way. Right, it'll only burn a little bit. Right then people, that's got that lit.
00:15So, I don't know how I'm going to do this one-handed. We'll have to do it to the fire, I forget the air horn.
00:24Come on Santa front man. Santa's a peeing man. Are you ready? OK. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1.
00:37Yes, I'm out of fire. Do you want to do it again? I think we should do it again.
00:46Let's let this flasher out. Yeah, look at it. I've got some warm now as well. This is much better than having it upside down.
01:05I'm going to get back slightly. Here we go. 3, 2, 1.
01:16Now if it's the left one. You're not lighting quite as well are you? Let's put it there. Off with more gas. Let's go full bar.
01:29Yeah. 3, 2, 1.
01:40This is good isn't it? This is working better than I thought it was going to, to be honest with you. I think we should get a little more gas.
01:49Right, we might be at full bottle pressure now. Do you want some more fire? Yeah.
01:58That was hot. We've got our plastic Santa suit, may not have been the best idea.
02:05Right, come on people, go a little faster. I suppose you can't really can you?
02:11Right, I'm going to go and start the toilets this year. Let's start front to front, next to the toilets.
02:18Ready Auntie? Right, I think we'll have one last blast of fire as these last people come through so they get to properly see it.
02:28Are you ready? 3, 2, 1.
02:41Oh look, we've only got a little bit of smoke now on this poor Christmas tree. Don't worry though, they're in pots with the roots, they will get planted.
02:58So these Christmas trees are not sacrificial, they will get used.
03:03I wonder where the horse was Colin? I know, I've only got two pairs of antlers on, I'm not for this float at all.
03:26Two pairs of antlers is more than enough. But one is two men. No, that's not right. One pair of antlers is not enough, but two is one two men.
03:39Right, I think that is the last Santa's. Tom, bring me back down. Oh, Tom's not even in the cab. I'm stuck up here.
03:51We'll leave you there until next year Colin. Well at least I'm not upside down.
04:02Right, I'll turn the gas off, then we'll get rid of the last bit of gas.
04:08Ah, that's the one that sets the Christmas tree on fire, isn't it? Melted my gas metate.
04:23Right, thank you very much Stamford. Enjoy your Santa fun run. Thank you Colin.
