Back in Norwich at the show grounds, old Bertie has taken off his jumper to have a look at the missing back. He sees it and starts shouting and reels from the shock of seeing a big gap where the back used to be. He then begins shouting how his beloved mother had knitted the jumper fortyfive years ago!
Mr Finleyson and Gilbert, having already registered, are standing off to the side of the registration table watching old Bertie throw a hissy fit over his crappy old jumper.
Mr Finleyson is having to hold onto Martha with all his might as she has become agitated and bolshy over the sight of old Bertie, who she cannot stand because he had taken her bowl of food the year before at a competition, to give to his hens.
He had also chased her out of her holding pen, where she had become separated from the other hens which belonged to Mr Finleyson.
She had hated the sight of old Bertie ever since. She has never forgotten or forgiven what he did to her.
She is trying to break free from Mr Finleyson's tight grip on her. She begins to hiss and blow raspberries as loud as she could manage, which drew attention to her and Mr Finleyson from the competitors who stood in the queues, still waiting to register.
A few of the men in the queues gave her disapproving looks. She acknowledged their derisory looks by sticking out her little tongue and letting rip with a long and loud raspberry! Mr Finleyson just stood there holding onto Martha and smiling at everyone. He felt a bit uncomfortable with Martha's unbridled behavior!
Old Bertie still stood at the registration table shouting and arguing with the woman seated at the long table. He was holding up the queue and the men in his queue were becoming impatient and angry with Bertie. Nobody cared about his lousy jumper!
It was at that point old Bertie turned around and saw Colin Brown standing behind him.
All of a sudden he turned on Colin and pointed at him, shouting, "You old bastard, you did this to my jumper! "
Old Bertie was still holding on to the remains of his jumper when he rounded on Colin. He held it up to Colin's face to show him the back was missing.
Before Colin could respond, old Bertie threw the jumper in his face and began shouting and swearing at him!
Colin peeled the tattered jumper off his face and said to old Bertie, "Who do you think you are accusing me and assaulting me with that moth eaten rag, and where do you come off shouting at me and calling me a bastard?"
"I don't suffer fools gladly and you're the biggest fool here!"
Before Bertie could respond, Colin punched him right in the face, sending Bertie crashing onto the registration table, where all the women sitting there scattered!
The long table collapsed, sending Bertie crashing to the ground!
