At MucSwampling's talk to balloon man to get balloon and voucher. Inside talk to anorak man. He needs something to make him tougher -- a tattoo maybe. So talk to tattooist, but he won't leave till 2 o'clock and, alas, the clock has stopped. Now use voucher to buy kiddie pack and swamp shake. Open pack to get gum, maggot and swampling model. Only employees are allowed upstairs so you need a disguise. Exit and go left to pick up fishing rod from dustbin.
Return to Joke Seller, ask him to make swampling costume -- you need some green cloth. Outside talk to Fat Bloke to buy cloth, but first you must do him a favour -- agree and watch sequence. In cave find lamp then call out to be rescued. He gives you the cloth but it isn't green!
