You know when they had an appeal and they had a sort of giant thermometer which had the target amount at the top.
It would get coloured bit by bit from the bottom as they made more money until; they reached the target.
What was it called?
Did it have a name?
Sorry, but it\'s really annoying me.
Totaliser?
totally.
thank you.
Look at the state of that.
I can't tell if they're in costume or it's just the '70s.
I think they were raising money to get Lesley some hands.
Seriously though, where the f**k are they?

It pains me to say it, but I think it was "just the '70s". *sighs*
Saying that, it might be that they had dressed-up in some obscure "national costume" for a spot of folk dancing. They did that a lot in those days. *sighs*
There's seems to be some sort of Norwegian/Lapland theme.
Ditto what I was thinking. Reminds me of the costumes the Norweigans always used to wear in the Eurovision Song Contest.

I knew her when she only bit her nails.

Yep, Noakes is wearing the traditional head shaman's clobber. And he appears to be entering a trance-like state of mind.
Did they ever fail to meet the target?
I think they mistook Lesley for the totaliser in the end, she's already morphing into it in the photo.
