Generator FAIL | big disappointment | WSM, North Petherton and Shepton Mallet Carnivals. 

Thanks yet again Jemma for showing the good the bad and the darn right wet !! Well done to all Chrs Malc uk 🇬🇧

I salute anyone who volunteers in the cold, dark and wet of night to bring a bit of free happiness into people’s lives - there’s a reason why travelling show-people and circuses have winter quarters because the rigging up and tearing down of rides and big tops is not for the faint-hearted and sadly many fairground operators suffer terrible back, joint pain, rheumatism and arthritis in later life. 👏

WoW just WoW, I'm awe-struck at um everything about Carnival, absolutely mind-blowing, I'm lost for words on how much i enjoyed watching. As a part-time contemporary-artist, the carnival captures my inner-most-imagination, BUT, what intrigued me most wasn't the aesthetic-influence of carnival carts and performers etc (actually the carts & performers were great), but the HUGE input of engineering, organisation, dedication, choreography, positive attitude(s) and much much more in-the background, to enable everything to happen. Awesome!!, 🥰i love watching your trucking-video's, and also how you incorporate your family & friends, and now your involvement in carnival, it's just GREAT!!. I've never seen anything so ELABORATE! , Great Stuff. I let you go for a cuppa-tea., and we won't forget the isolation switch... *jokes* 😷 (New Zealand)

Great video again jemma we was at Weston-super-Mare the float looks amazing shame about the generator but we all clapped for the hard work you all done

Absolutely brilliant videos😁😁😁😁 I went down to Bridgewater about 10 years ago to see a friend And he work on one of the floats and took me to the shed where they was built I was amazed of all the dedicated people and the effort put in to producing the fantastic floats You all bring so much joy to the people watching Thank you for sharing your time on the carnivals ❤xx

Hi Jemma, good to see all the behind seen and goings on what's involved to put a carnival on, keep up the good work.

Brilliant I liked the singing and dancing.🏆⭐💎🤸♥️👍

What a shame it never rains but it pours, first the generator failure and then the gas leak. 😂😂 Who needs a radio when you can sing like that. 🤣🤣 At least the weather looked okay for most of the time and what an amazing turn out at all the venues. Thanks for another amazing video, everyone does a fantastic job, it is really good to see how much support you get at these local events. Definitely deserved your cup of tea.

What a fantastic young postive lady .

Been there done that with idiots either climbing on the truck or watching me reversing into a dealership and trying to step over the drawbar while I'm moving. You just wonder where the responsible adult they left home with has vanished off to sometimes.

A brilliant carnival season this year as always myself and my dad venture from Bristol each year to see it. I do wish Weston-Super-Mare would go back to being the last event though on the old date it was on it was super convenient for going early and missing the traffic plus I was thinking on the way back from Glastonbury carnival if Burnham-On-Sea and Weston-Super-Mare Carnivals were to be moved somewhere between the 20th & 26th of November surely it would be easier on the clubs and carnivalites participating have the dates more spread out less of a hassle?.

Being an Aussie I am quite sure I don’t understand what is happening. I understand the floats, but not why they are there and what purpose they serve. For the O/s crowd maybe a little context, seems like a fun time for everyone involved though.

Jemma u did fantastic job when the float generator went out made another way make it right

Awesome cool❤❤❤

👍👍👍👍

Where is the next on location please as I would like to come ????

Brilliant video and your a beautiful lady

Someone ort to have a word with Martin about trying to take jemma from the rear 😮😂

You are totalky living my dream.shamim zahuri, bangladesh 💘 🧚‍♀️ 👏 💏 🕊🤹🤝🫂

Great video Jem, brilliant insight to the workings of the carnival circuit with the problems you encounter. It would be great to chart your progress of next year's cart and show it after it's out what the theme will be. We saw you B O S we came to see you from South Wales. Keep up the great work.

Love this series about the carnivals. So much effort from you all. Congratulations to the whole club

The amount of work you guys put in is incredible!! Congratulations to everyone!!

I help with a charity that puts on events for a town in the midlands and it is hard work and long days especially in the winter months carrying out not only the events but all that goes on behind the scenes.

Amused by the comment about reversing. A friend that’s an artic driver has a caravan for holidays. He invariably gets his wife to reverse the caravan as he says it’s a lot more difficult to reverse than the artic!

These carnivals are serious work for the crews. I'm not surprised Jemma is exhausted at the end of the parade. Driving this wide and tall vehicle is not easy, she has to concentrate to avoid the obstacles and people along the route. But at least the crowd really appreciates the effort of the clubs. The towns in this video are cool and everything is well organized. It's great to see your run was flawless again. Excellent vlog Jemma, big thank you for documenting these events for us. 😍

Hi Jemma, another fine video and carnival. I have spent many a holiday in Weston -Super-Mare when knee high to a grass hopper. looking forward to your next video. Ho look here it is you driving a 100 foot truck

Super vid Jemz. Kudos to everyone working on the cart's. I love the community spirit where everybody knows everyone else....thats special. Thanks for all your hard work Jemz, it is much appreciated. ❤

Hi Jemma I got another reply from some silly people your mum said to ignore them so I have.I just delete the comments with the silly reply and do the comments again.♥️👍

Great video Jemma and a good insight into what goes on behind the scenes x

Such a shame jemma it does happen i think there was 3 breakdowns at bridgewater a few years ago its so hard to take after all the work that goes into the carts

Hi Jenna great video again so professional hope generator is fixed

You are an inspiration to do all that work in the cold weather, a Huge congratulations to you all

I watch all your videos Jemma and have been really enjoying these last few ones. I've never been into this carnival stuff but I'm now converted. So I'm going to attend next year and looking forward to it.

I am totally impressed with these carnivals. I had not even heard of these festivities.. Up here in the north east we have nothing like this. You should all be very proud of yourselves.

Honestly your carnival videos are awesome, its mental how much work goes into them. Shame about the genny at WSM least it wasn't too serious! great video Jem!

Excellent my friend 💯👍

Love these carnival videos!

Brilliant Vlog Jemma. You are an amazing driver! What Skill🫡🤯 hope you get a good rest before the day job! Aura best 💪👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Great video again. We come down from Herefordshire to see it as nothing like this much happens in our area. But we do find some influence for the Christmas tractor runs with lighting.

This just in ! ‘Bon Jovi’ now three quarters of the way there !

Great video. It shows that you don’t just drive a lorry. I love your enthusiasm and your smile. Looking forward to next week. Time for a cup of tea.❤

Brilliant again Jemma I’m really impressed with the way you handled that combination, Well done young lady 👏👏😀🏆

I never noticed the gear stick by your right elbow - bet that took some getting used to, Jemma! 😵‍💫 I think Weston are missing a trick with all the carts in the car park - perhaps they should have a party there and raise more money ? Or perhaps just for the participants.

Hey Girl ! As a singer you’re a bloody great driver !

Those carts are awesome Jemma, and how you go thro that every year must be stressful time for all involved. It's sad when you get some folk who don't have good time if they knew the work that goes into it all, nice video.

I love your videos

Hi Jemma What a great team effort to get the floats ready. I do wonder if people know how much hard work is put in by the team just to get the floats from town to town, the long nights so much dedication by everyone . Your day job look far more easy than driving the float 🤣🤣. All the best.

Sounds like an exceptionally busy week! I think you deserve more than a cuppa🥵

What a lot of organising. Very well done everyone concerned.

Jemma all the work for those Carnivals is amazing! Congratulations to all! I have been apart of the Carnival in WsM but always the group I was with was Number 1! In and Out!

Jazus great video. Fairplay to ye all. Some work and thinking gone into designing and making the floats. Getting them around to the different parades must be a nightmare. 👏👏 ☘️👍☘️

dedication from all you guys involved in these mega shows hope that carnival season is a success for our favourite trucker and her crew.

Hi Jemma. Another excellent video.Thanks.👍

Those floats are magnificent! Well done Gem to all of you just brilliant thanks for sharing!

Incredible, never realised how many different carnivals you and the crew do. Well done

My nan and grandad used to love in North Petherton. And we used to go to the carnival in the 80's. Very interesting.

Nice one team. Lot off sleepless nights and cold body's. Interesting

Love the absolute scumbagary from reg and marlon 😂😂😂

Another great carnival video Jemma

Wait a minute 11:10 I was looking in your tractor thinking I recognised you

Ca'nt beat a drop of verbal abuse to keep ya on ya toes ! The local "mashing" might be a bit too strong for some folk.

hi jemma i love you too i miss you too are you beautiful 💌💌💌💌💌💌💌

ANOTHER AMAZING VIDEO SORRY ABOUT THE BREAKDOWN BEHIND THE SCENES IS SO INTERESTING THANK YOU VERY MUCH

Im not a truck driver, but have driven a few semis on farms, single trailer to reverse is easy, b doubles I find impossible, professional truck drivers do it easily.

Very good vlog jem I loved it as always girl ❤❤

Having not seen a carnival for many years WSM was just amazing... It was a massive shame your generator decided not to work but I can tell you..... You had the biggest of cheers!! I cannot believe the stupidity of some parents trying to put a kid on a moving cart just unbelievable. Love your carnival videos and it's great to see Locking road carpark is one of the more social friendly park ups. Do you and your club have an idea for next year already?

See you in Stratford upon Avon today 👍

Thank you for another brilliant video!

Jemma thank you , your dad and all you guys that work so hard all year round to display your carts, we are from surrey and have a small caravan stored at Newton Brook storage North Petherton , and yes we had that long wait for the gas leek, we thoroughly enjoyed that evening , so again a very big thank you for your effort, Hope you win overall 🤩🤩

What are you celebrating? You looked so beautiful and cute.❤❤

Those are lamps..bulbs go in the garden :) .. i remember when these used the old tungsten lamps the heat coming off the floats was mental... I rent out generators its a stressful job :)

Who is driving your wagon at work

I watch this in awe. AAAAAWWWWWWWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

Great video as always. Carts looking fantastic.

this is perfect jemma

❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉

Jem how many carts are usually in the carnival ?

Hi

Amazing amount of work. I appreciate your putting this video together.

You are just one heck of a girl Jemma you are so capable you are the sort of person who anyone could rely on to just get the job done. Xxx

Great video as always Jem,you look great in costume xxx

A very good Sunday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset

Ooooh Jemma you look freezing.?

What's the road tax and insurance like on that 🤣

Really enjoyed that video Jem, tell me more about the generator (spent many years fixing them before I decided to fix trains), is the cart an Old Ford cargo chassis???

Another Great Video 😃

Loved the singing😁

15:57 - lost in the moment!

Great job jemma xx

❤❤❤❤❤

These have been really interesting Jemma, what speed can you travel at in the cart moving between carnivals ?

Did you manage to get the generator fix Jemma ❤

Great team effort
