Was just on GB News and has to be said, hanging around for 30 minutes in order to be one for 30 seconds might not be a future way of spending a morning….

But isn’t this the default? People expect you to provide a service for them, they are not paying for & you have no obligation to provide. And then they expect you to provide the service at their convenience.
Seems to be pretty well the norm with things I deal with
bloke: « People expect you to provide a service for them, they are not paying for & you have no obligation to provide. »
How unlike our GP surgeries where you expect people to provide a service for you, you’re not paying for it and they have no obligation to provide.
Telly (and film) was always thus, but it gives you a chance to watch and see what cunts you’re surrounded with. I once spent all day hanging around in order to give Noel Edmonds the benefit of my dad dancing, when I was on keyboards with a going gets tough type. Edmonds turned out to be the biggest arrogant, sarcastic cunt you could possibly imagine.
Got a decent day rate though so there were worse ways I could have spent the time.
Odd coincidence. I just got exacly the same sort of thing. The Amazon delivery guy just called at the door to collect a return. (I’m returning a €5 battery lamp I received in place of a of a 350€ laptop) Not unreasonably, I requested he signed a second copy of the delivery note. And don’t we all know, delivery drivers do not give you the parcel before you have signed for it. However, this one refused to sign & said if I insisted, he would leave without it. Always, one is expected to play by their rules.
This is why Emu bites people
“but think of the Exposure!!” 😉
BACK!!! Thanks, notMurphy and the others.
I like GB News but I’m not surprised they’re pretty amateurish. It must mean if you work for them it’s the end of your TV career, as no Lefty channel – and they’re all Lefty channels – will ever employ you…
I doubt it Grist. I suspect all media people are the same. The belief they’re the most important people on the planet.
I can remember trying to enter a building in London where I had some business.They were setting up to do a ‘to camera’ shot out front. They hadn’t even got the camera positioned & I get a “You can’t go in” from some bloke. And he was trying to get physical with it. “You asking for a smack in the chops?” worked wonders.
