FIRST – A BRIEF SYNOPSIS

Dickwhit and Alfwhit the sons of landowner Gertrude Ington, have got themselves into a bit of trouble financially and are in danger of going bankrupt. So they have flogged off some of their grandfathers rare camera equipment, however, unknown to Dickwhit the equipment had been bequeathed to the local camera club. The members of the club have told Dickwhit that he had an obligation to find them some other equipment to play with, or suffer the consequences.

Dickwhit went to market and sold his best cow but says all he received was a handful of beans (Yeah, right – farmers eh! - always a sob story).
This did little to impress his mother, who threw them in disgust out the door into the garden.
By the morning a huge bean plant has grown – so big that it goes all the way up to Scrotland where the dreaded Scrots live.
It is Dickwhit’s fate to journey along the beanstalk and take on the Scrots, taking better images than them and stealing their equipment. He knows this because he heard Bow Bells ringing out the famous message - ‘Turn again Whittington …. etc.’

However, in Scrotland there lives a giant of a photographer called Dummfoch and his army of snappers the Auld Ratarse Brigade. Quite a threat to the quest – but Dickwhit is hoping to gather supporters along the way.

Luckily a small furry creature has already befriended Dickwhit, a brave and intelligent cat ‘Puss in Boobs’, destined to become Dickwhit's loyal companion.

Dummfoch, ugly and huge as he is, has managed to sire a daughter of outstanding natural beauty, ‘Emily Witch’, who although only 16 years of age, is tall and elegant and probably the best female photographer in the world.
Dummfoch desperately tries to keep his daughter pure and innocent......

Have you been smoking funny bits of paper again?
 
Bah humbug! You lot obviously need some help. May I be so bold as to suggest a list of characters:

Dickwhit: Digital Failure
Alfwhit: Warspite
Dummfoch: HIMUPNORTH
Puss in Boobs: Minimeeze
Cinderella: Marianne
Ugly Sisters: Marcel, Digital Failure & Matty
Genie: Venomator
Widow Twanky: Arkady :D
Buttons: Joe T

And of course anyone else who wants to join in.

:lol:
 
Dickwhit on his journey North came across a hapless photographer who introduced himself with a wink as "Swinger! But don't let the clubs fool you".

Despite being handicapped with inferior equipment and having no natural photographic ability Dickwhit was taken with Swinger's smooth tongue and ability to make money from any old snap.

"You don't need to slay a giant to get rich" Swinger would say "although I've laid a few."

Dickwhit decided it was time to move on when Swinger kept taking photos of Puss n Boots and repeating "nice pussie" with a strange look in his eye.........
 
as the photography continued in a shady corner something caught Dickwhit's eye as he was attempting to make conversation with the hapless photographer.....a beautiful girl sat swinging slowly and thoughtfully from an enormous swing suspended from one of the branches of a tree fromt he giant's garden. The branches of the tree were so huge that this one was protuding through the walls of the nightclub in which Swinger was the manager. The beautiful young girl was so deep in thought, she looked quite sad, her clothes were in tatters and she was singing a quiet tune all the time as she swang this way and that, she was alone with her melancholy thoughts in the giant's world......suddenly she came to her senses with a start! The giant was bellowing out her name ........'CINDERELLA!!!!'.......Dickwhit could feel her fright, but out from the back of the nightclub came a handsome young man (is this Buttons or Chuckles she wondered...), he was concerned to see Cinderella still there on the swing, why hadn't she gone to see to her master???........
