00:00So we're here in Bridge North, outside the original factory shop, and we're here with Andy.
00:05What's your last name, Andy? Andy Newman. Andy, you've got a funny little post. You're old in there.
00:09Yeah. West Midlands Fancy Dress Footy Tour. And you also, you hang out with some funny-looking friends, don't you?
00:15You're right, guys? How you doing? You're right, guys? How we doing?
00:19So what's happening? What's this all about, then, Andy?
00:22Only four weeks today. We're going to start at the Birmingham City Ground, St Andrews.
00:26Yeah. Off to Villa Park, and then off to West Brom, which is going to be hard news for me, but never mind.
00:34And then on to Warsaw, and finally to the greatest club in the West Midlands, Wolverhampton Wanderers.
00:39So it's fair to say you finish on a high? Exactly.
00:43So, there's some booms there, weren't there, in the background?
00:47Oh, yeah, just a little bit there. Oh, how are you?
00:50Premier League, not like Shoesbury.
00:53So you're doing this on foot, aren't you, Dana?
00:55We are, yes. We're doing it on foot, yep.
00:57How long is it going to take you? Have you worked it out, roughly?
01:00About three days. About six hours, six or seven hours.
01:03Six hours. Fully suited?
01:05Fully suited, all these guys, yep.
01:06So you'll be hoping for a bit less sun, won't you, Batman, than we've got today?
01:11Hopefully so, yeah.
01:12You know what I mean? Especially if you're in the suits, you know.
01:14Yeah, it's pretty hot in black.
01:16Cool. And it's all for a good cause, yeah?
01:18Yeah, definitely.
01:19Who's it for? Go on, Blobby. Who's it for?
01:21For the Stroke Association.
01:22Stroke Association. Here we go. Cool.
01:25Sylvester, are you up to it?
01:27Those little paws, are they going to last the six hours?
01:30The suit went up to Snowdon last year.
01:33Went up to Snowdon? Wow.
01:35We ordered Snowdon last year.
01:37Well, cats are good at climbing, so...
01:40The Bob said along with us as well.
01:41You're taking the Bob?
01:42The Bob said to come along with us.
01:43Awesome.
01:44Oh, we've got a little man donating here.
01:46Oh, thank you. Thank you very much.
01:48The actual route's going to take about 20 mile.
01:51Yeah.
01:5220 mile, that's...
01:53About 20 mile, yeah.
01:54Cool.
01:54Like I said, it's all for a great cause with Stroke Association.
01:58That's what we're all about at the end of the day.
01:59Great stuff.
02:00Well, you're collecting here today, and Danny, you were saying, was it Rod who works at the original factory shop?
02:06He's the manager.
02:07He's the manager.
02:07He's the original factory shop, and he's kindly given us permission to collect outside here once a month until the end of the year.
02:12So, big up Rod, big up Rob, Rod, and the original factory shop.
02:17Well, good luck, guys.
02:18Thank you very much.
02:19Yeah, well, I'm sure you'll turn some heads.
02:23Well, one thing I'd like to say is thank you to everybody who sponsors us.
02:26Of course, yeah.
