We begin at the shore end of Southend's famous mile long pier where Mum, looking very glamorous in dangly earrings and sling-backs, gets weighed on jockey scales. We then get views of boats on the Pavilion Lakes and see Mum buying ice creams. She and her son visit the waxworks on the replica Golden Hind. We get a glimpse onboard the pier railway before seeing the pair walking amongst the many amusements. We end with shots of a beach packed with holiday makers in deck chairs.
