Holiday camp in the 1950's film 8124
North Wales in 1958. Promotional film for Prestatyn Holiday Camp, Seemingly aimed at the more middle class holiday maker (posh voiceover etc.). Opens with shots of couple pouring over holiday brochures and visiting travel agents. They can't make their minds up and he thoughtfully rests his head on his hands, as he rests his elbows on a table. Man outside travel agents. Form filling in a travel agents. Train moving through Prestatyn railway station as holiday makers walk along platform, restaurant car passes. Couple are welcomed onto single decker bus by girl. He carries two suitcases.
On arrival at camp they marvel at the pristine white modernist buildings - so continental. Reception are at camp where wife encourages husband (who looks as if he might not enjoy his holiday) to take booking forms from his jacket pocket. She wears a headscarf. Couple walk to their chalet, still in their formal travel clothes. The door is brown their luggage is brown and inside the curtains are brown. Chalet has a built-in wardrobe (ooooo), and a chest of drawers which she inspects. Is he going to? - Yes he does - he bounces up and down on the mattress of one of the twin beds to check how comfy it is. Man has a shower. General shots of camp, girl sitting on edge of fountain, chalets, bars being greeted by Blue Coats, dining hall with no queuing etc. Introduces blue coats: and what good fellas they were ... they didn't mind in the least if you didn't join in. Ballroom with ballroom dancing. Morning drinks trolley pauses outside chalet for man in his brown shirt, and who is smoking, to take to cups of tea. Breakfast at long trestle tables. Man with cravat assists wife to sit. Table has half grapefruits with glace cherries on top on it. Shots of games around the pool (fairly discrete). Beauty contest with women in summer dresses filing past. Man covered in foam and pushed into the pool for entertainment. Deck games on boards. The fake 'clipper' anchored to the land, the ladies playing football (I must admit they played it jolly well!). Variety night, with stilt walkers, song and dance acts and men dressed as sailors. Good shot of audience applauding. 1950's variety act type entertainment.
Women play tug of war. Woman wearing normal day clothes on a tennis court runs around to play a forehand and misses. Cricketers in their whites. Close up of bowls. A netball hoop is scored. Teenagers and young children play in pool.
Four people playing cards. A picnic hamper sits on road next to car rear wheel - close up. A drive through Snowdonia. Man asleep in deckchair with book on his lap. Rambling over nearby hills, the walkers wave to camera from a long way off, picnic trip to Snowdon, people in open topped car wave offscreen. Horse riding on beach. Young men take part in outdoor horse vaulting. Children slide down water slide into pool and nearly crash into swimmer. Not quite a crèche facility at the camp, but a baby sitting service with nurse in white uniform patrolling the chalets as couple go out for the evening. Final evening is carnival night in fancy dress. Dancing. Prize for best fancy dress. People dressed up file past a stage including two who have blacked up.

Photo-Me Rupert The Bear Kiddie Ride
Ride Name: Rupert The Bear Car.
Cost Per Ride: 50p for 1 ride, £1 for 3 rides.
Duration Of Ride: 1 Minute and 30 Seconds.
Manufacturer: Photo-Me International Ltd. of Surrey, United Kingdom.
Date Of Birth: 1996
Licensed To: Express Newspapers/The Orchard Music
Location Of Ride: Waves Amusements, Prestatyn, Wales.
Filming Date: Wednesday 17th August 2016.
Description Of Ride: This ride, based on the titular character created by Express Newspapers, features the Rupert The Bear theme song sung by Jackie Lee and two sound effects. The motion is a side-to-side rocking motion which is quite uncommon on a lot of rides.
This isn't an OMC ride. Photo-Me manufactured this one in 1996, recycling some of OMC's programming systems and technology.
It's easy to tell what OMC rides are actually manufactured by Photo-Me, as they will often play the current Jolly Roger' announcements (then solely owned by Photo-Me before they handed them to subsidary JR). They will also feature buttons which are different to that of the generic yellow rectangular ones, and generally either move in a rocking motion or on an older base and motor -S Croz88
I think I went on one of these when I was a kid but I have now suddenly developed an obsession with kiddie rides and I will literally film any ride I can get my hands on xD
I might delete this, depends on what you guys think of it... I'd call this a camera test so yeah...
It's something which I wouldn't upload very often. But I found out that it was a rare ride so I took a video of it whilst I could. I might start uploading more videos of kiddie rides for your enjoyment. I will be filming a video next week and uploading it, as the normal schedule will resume next week. For now as I think of an idea for a video you guys can watch this if you want to lol
I remember watching Rupert as a kid so this brings back good memories. I think I remember riding this ride once, but last time I went here 3 years ago back to 2013 it wasn't there and the Thomas ride wasn't their either.
UPDATE: The thumbnail was taken on a RECENT trip to Prestatyn in April 2017, not August 2016.

English without limits
IN A RESTURANT!
Customer: Waiter! There's a fly in my soup!
Waiter: Fly, Sir? No, I always go by boat.
Customer: I said there is a fly in my soup.
Waiter: No, you can't beat a south sea cruise.
Customer: Are you mad?
Waiter: Mad about boats? Not really, Sir, fishing's more my line.
Customer: But I didn't say fish. I ordered soup without the fly!
Waiter: Fishing without flies?
Customer: Not with flies, you fool. I have one here, look.
Waiter: I can't see any fish, Sir.
Customer: Are you drunk?
Waiter: Drink, Sir? Shall I bring in the wine list?
Customer: No! Ge me the manager.
Waiter: Manageress, Sir.
Customer: Then I want your manageress here and now!
Waiter: But, I'm afraid she's alredy married, Sir.
Customer: My soup!
Waiter: My word! You've gone all red, Sir.
Customer: Take it away and bring me another plate.
Waiter: I'm sorry same plates, same soup, Sir.
Customer: But no flies; no flies! Don't you understand English?
Waiter: Oh you're a foreigner, Sir? I didn't realize.
Customer: Of course I'm not! I live here.
Waiter: But this is a resturant, Sir, not a hotel.
Customer: Look you idiot. There is a fly, here, in my soup!
Waiter: You won't catch any fish in there, Sir.
Customer: But it's dead.
Waiter: The fish, Sir?
Customer: No, the bloody fly!
Waiter: Perhaps it drowned.
Customer: Waiter, for the last time. I ordered soup without flies.
Waiter: One soup with French fries coming up, Sir.
