02:31What possesses you on a rainy day to come out and sing in the streets?

02:34We've done it for the last three years.

02:37We're determined we're not going to miss it.

02:41Well, if you take the appropriate action on your brolly, it's kind of all right, isn't it?

02:45Yeah, it's not too bad.

02:46It's not as bad as it used to be.

02:51We've done it four years ago.

02:52Has it been dry the other years?
