The spot they’re fishing at (9:50) is the exact spot my grandad made me get into the water to find a propellor that had spun off the model boat he had made..

[@josephbennett4236]

I used to go there a lot, too. It brings back a lot of happy memories for me, walking in the beech woods, watching the model boats buzzing around on the lake. My father was the Buckinghamshire County Council Land Agent and was responsible for Black Park, Langley Park and other public spots around the county. Good times.

I think you're supposed to think they're looking at something through a window, or something similar.
