Challenge No. 4 – United Colours of Britain

Prior to embarking on our little adventure, we are going to collect as many kid-sized football tops as possible from professional football clubs across the UK. These will be donated to the children of a school that we will visit whilst on our travels.

January 17th 2008

Today our task is all very simple and straightforward, we were going to do some good and use some of the cash that you lot have given us and use it help some very, very needy poor folks.

Two days ago, we went to a local school and gave out some shirts - it was beautiful. After the kids stopped crying at the presence of two hairy arsed, fat Scotsmen, wearing kilts and accompanied by an Orang-utan hanging from one of their necks - they warmed up to us and even gave us some songs.

It was like Red Nose Day - the serious bits. We tried, but none of us cried - would have made a great photo.

We decided that we should drop off the kitchen sink here as all the school had as a kitchen was an outdoor tap and a concrete slab. We gave £35 to the headmistress to allow everything to be plumbed in, and fitted. This will now provide extra sanitation for the kids. Mrs Head (we never got her name) was unbelievably humbled and so, thanks to the following people for that gesture; Trish Waters, Amanda Lamb, Scott Lewellyn, Fiona Main, Emma-Claire Hall, and us two - we both put a fiver in the pot. Leading by example!

Sadly, we don't have any pictures of the sink being handed over (perhaps, may we suggest, that you go to B&Q or Home Base and recreate the moment yourself with friends) as everything was filmed for the telly. Can't wait - should be riveting!
