attach a camera to it to film a commercial to promote the Womad
Festival.
Secondly, a man calls us at 4pm asking if we can deliver, and
set up an ADULT
GLADIATOR inflatable to a central London location by 7pm that
evening. Always one for a challenge we successfully complete his
request on time only to find that his friend pulls up a few minutes
later in a Ferrari. His friend curses him and hands him £1000.
Apparentlythey had a bet that he could not get one set up by 7pm.
Half an hour later we had packed it all away again.
