Summary
Pathe synopsis: Lazing beside a babbling brook is a far cry from busy board meetings, unless you join us on a visit to the Ellidon joke factory in Buckinghamshire. Walking matches, trick cigars, rubber hammers - you’ll see them all at the meeting where hearty laughter means hard cash. But those old stand-by jokes still work, as the joke-tester discovered on a visit to a Filey holiday camp.
