John Deakin, aka “Mr Whippy” shares a joke as John Griffiths climbs into the top of the boiler. “I knew I shouldn’t have had that extra portion of ice cream last night!” John Griffiths looking a little concerned that John Deakin still has a smile on his face and the looks ready to close the door on John!

John Huxley explaining that many years as a boiler inspector at least taught him how to get comfy inside a scotch boiler. “We used to play cards in here” “Right, I’ve seen enough!....let me out please”. Two more “Happy Dan Fans”. John Huxley looks on as John Griffiths (sorry about all the Johns) emerges unscathed and with a smile on his face.
