(upbeat music) Welcome to the shop of social hyper positivity. Here we are on tour on Waymouth Beach. Here's some of the local attractions. Today it's a little bit overcast. Yesterday was boiling hot, but that's the English weather for you, isn't it though? Next weekend we have the wonderful Unlocked Reset Festival, where there's good people at the Pitching Park in Moncton Park in Chippetham. If you don't come from Chippetham, I suggest that you visit next weekend for the Unlocked Reset Festival. We've got a beautiful array of local musicians, and that's kind of the methodology of can-do. Instead of paying taxpayers money to get bands from out of town, we like to promote the artists that are in the town who are good enough to give of their services, because the Unlocked Reset Festival is not only a celebration of our community, but it's also a way to raise valuable funds for can-do community projects. And for those of you who don't know what we do, please look us up, because I think you'll find that quite unusually, we work with all generations, and we work in diverse areas, as well as in Chippetham and the wheelchair area, we also have a national and international reach. So Unlocked Reset Festival at the Pitch and Park in Moncton Park in Chippetham has got to be a goer. And we've invited all sorts of good people that we have worked alongside, or that we are supporting. So there should be an array of people with an array of fantastic musical artists from solo performers. We've got a couple from Manchester, coming down. That Siegel loved the Manchester vibe. Back in the day, he was in the Stoned Roses. There were a different band from the Stoned Roses, but I shouldn't go into that now. And over there, if you look closely there, that's actually Jonathan Livingston-Steagall for all of you, Richard Dach fans. Anyway, so we are going to be putting, I think it's probably our fourth annual one, but we will, in fact, check that. It might, yeah, think it's our fourth one. And, but I want to say a massive thank you to all the volunteers and supporters that we get to put that on, but particularly to Pete and Wendy Claridge at the Pitch and Park, which is set in a beautiful, it has a beautiful setting over it. It's set in a beautiful, it's a beautiful setting. The Pitch and Park, Moncton Park, you can't beat it. For not only Pitch and Park, you have adventure golf and foot golf. So check it out. It's a very beautiful little day. I'm used to play there as a teenager and had many hours of fun. And we take a lot of our young people from the Can-Do Alternative Education program. It's part of their socialization. It's a set in such a beautiful, natural environment. It's a natural, it's actually a very, it's a golf course for starters, so it's not that natural, but it's gorgeous. It's a old, say, stately home, but it's certainly a big house that used to have lots of grounds that had beautiful, beautiful grounds, beautiful hours, beautiful grounds. Anyway, please support us and our local musicians and all the good people. And big shout out to everyone that's helped. Mike Morrissey, James Levan. Got some fantastic people, as usual, performing. As I say, we like to support the local artists, give them a platform. Some of our young people, well, Jonathan Livingston's legal has gotten chased by. That is possibly going to be ending tears. It will end in tears. No? Oh, yeah. He just did a poo. Jonathan Livingston poo poo. And for all of you who don't understand what I'm talking about when I say Jonathan Livingston's legal, I suggest that you get hold of that book and read it and we can talk about it at a later date. Oh, he's gone back now. He's saying, "I'm not having that." Anyway, just say I went on a hell of a scout there with my daughter. And it was an interesting challenge, but I've never been away with you before. I have to say, it's actually all right. Had a nice time. Yesterday was baking hot. Nice sunny beach, nice sandy beach. I'm not from the tourist board, but I am bored of tourism. Look, Jonathan's there though. He knows. He's looking at me and he's thinking, "Why don't you keep mentioning my name?" Uh-oh. Jonathan Livingston's legal and Joe Crow. Look at this. What's this? What are you two doing? What is this? Some sort of birth conspiracy? Yeah? What's in donkeys? But do you think I'm going to eat something or something? Oh, my God, this one's right behind me. What is going on here? What do you think's going on? Wow. He's getting closer. He can go and set him. Oh, you thought that was food, didn't you? Oh, do you want to be on the camera? Do you want it in any of you? Anyway, from Waimoth Beach, very sandy Waimoth Beach. I want to say it's a wrap. See you at the Enlock Reset Festival, Pitch and Park Mountain Park next week, 17th and 18th of August in the year of COVID-2024. Thank you. Is that water cold? Yeah, I just said it. Yeah, water's cold. Anyway, anyway, see you there. OK, thank you. Also, thank you to everyone from the Sheldon Ward that voted for me. I was actually... I was very humbled by that, because obviously I haven't got a political party supporting me. I haven't got loads of volunteers, haven't got money. I don't know if you know that, obviously, the money that... Libetemmas, for instance, can save us to use part of it. It's from the money they get paid. But from being a counsellor, they put towards all their propaganda. And therefore, they are able to have lots of flyers, two different flyers going out there, lots of door knocking, they had the MP that came down, all sorts of stuff. And let's face it. At the last general election, the Lib Dems could have put a rosette on a pig, and it would have won. It didn't matter about policies or whatever, because there was no policies. It would just get the Conservatives out, understandable. That's not a good way for us to run our society. And it also allows for the local people, local councillors, not to do what they're supposed to do. It's a massive lack of transparency, and in... And democracy in our local council, particularly in Chippeddam. So that's my way too busy really to get involved on a direct level with these people, but because they've behaved in such an appalling way, that's why I feel compelled. So I'm always interested to see what sort of support we can get, and I'm very, very, very humbled by the amount of support we do get. Obviously, I'm up for the challenge, and I would quite happily spend some of my energy having to put the council right, because they have been wrong in so many different ways. But that will all come out next year leading up to the me. Local elections. So, anyway, thank you very much for the people it supported me. He knows. He knows. See, they'll not reset first of all.
