This is strangely hypnotic

[@winterroadspokenword4681]

Can believe after all the work you didn’t show a cross section at the end! 😅

[@alongway99]

Oh no!! I was looking forward to seeing how the words "Blackpool Rock" are made in the stick...

[@IvyWhiskeyDram]

Thanks for the video, appreciate George Formby too 🤭

[@maxdecimus13]

Imagine watching the whole video to not see how they get the words in

[@Spardin]

they show you making the letters at 4:00 onwards?

[@wingleburt3146]

There is the story of the guy who was fired by them, he thought unfairly.

Every year when summer comes round, off to the sea I go. I don't care if I do spend a pound, I'm rather rash I know. See me dressed like all the sports, in my blazer and a pair of shorts. With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, along the promenade I stroll. It may be sticky but I never complain, it's nice to have a nibble at it now and again Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock. One afternoon the band conductor up on his stand Somehow lost his baton - it flew out of his hand So I jumped in his place and then conducted the band With my little stick of Blackpool Rock With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, Along the promenade I stroll, In my pocket it got stuck I could tell 'Cos when I pulled it out I pulled my shirt off as well Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock. A girl while bathing clung to me, my wits had to use She cried, "I'm drowning, and to save me, you won't refuse" I said, "Well if you're drowning then I don't want to lose My little stick of Blackpool Rock." With my little stick of Blackpool Rock, Along the promenade I stroll In the ballroom I went dancing each night No wonder every girl that danced with me, stuck to me tight Every day wherever I stray the kids all round me flock. A fellow took my photograph it cost one and three. I said when it was done, "Is that supposed to be me?" "You've properly mucked it up the only thing I can see is My little stick of Blackpool Rock."

It's from a song by George Formby

[@mallyfell1598]

boooo no cross section :(((( also. he put his body on the blackpool rock. o_o

[@pickmeasinner]

Pretty useless. Doesn't explain the processes and no end result?!

[@mooham8762]

Music so annoying and good to know people just mash their hands all throughout the candy without gloves on. Won't be eating Blackpool rock anytime soon lol

[@bard_of_dundee]

Since when is George Formby annoying? He's awesome!

[@meganmills9623]

I'd avoid bread too if I were you

[@mooham8762]
