Out And About (2)

Trish is seen stood in Nicholas Square in Newcastle.

“Welcome back to the land of the Geordie!” cried Trish, “And this time I’m not alone, come and see my friends.” the camera panned across and a large group of people were lined up at one side of the square, all stood behind a white line. They were clearly expecting to have to race for something as a few of them were already in position to set off.

The camera returns to Trish as she was walking in the opposite direction, towards the far end of the square. “I have forty friends lined up there, any number of whom could win £100, so that’s a possible £4000 in total I’ll be paying out. When I blow my whistle, all forty of them have to run across the Square, until they reach one of these”. Trish has reached the end of the square where two porta-potties are located.

“These two portable toilets, have been out in Newcastle for the last two weeks, so they’re not only full, but they stink to high Heaven. Take a look inside!” Trish opens the door to one of the porta-potties and the camera reveals a filthy wet floor with toilet paper stuck tot he floor, the seat and even to the walls.

“One they reach these lovely little cubicles, they simply have to get in, now there’s not nearly enough room for all of them so it’s going to be a real squeeze. After 90 seconds the doors will be closed and the number of people in each porta-potty will be counted.” Trish continued with the explanation, “ Which ever porta-potty has managed to get the most people inside will be declared the winner. The winning porta-potty will be opened, it’s inhabitants released and given £100 each. Those that didn’t manage to get inside one of the porta-potties get nothing, but for those in the losing porta-potty, the fun is just beginning. The losing porta-potty gets tipped over, causing the inhabitants to get covered with the contents!”
