As you know yesterday I was going to do a boot sale type market. The venue was were we have our antiques unit.
When we saw the crew there, they were filming for Benidorm, the T.V. series, we decided to put my clothes on hold and make a display of our lovely things.
The directors just took over my stall...........didn't even ask my permission, banned me from my own stall, put an actor in, clanged and banged my things about. I could not work or sell. To say I was livid would be mild.
At first I went along with it as in my innocence I thought it would be over in no time............WRONG. It took the hours.
I spoke to the locations director who was patronising to say the least and have asked for compensation but doubt I will get any. I am so angry.
I am more angry at there high handed, arrogant attitude. How dare they.
Several of the stall holders could not work because of equipment etc blocking there stalls.
When I pointed out that most people were up at 5 to do this type of work and were in fact quite poor, ( it is true, so many of the people on a Thursday, are in a very difficult situation financially ) so because of the filming would suffer even more financial deprivation.
Her smart arsed answer was that her contract was with the owners of the site not us !!!!!!!! and that she was up at 5a.m. every day..........well bully for you, says me, you get paid for it and paid well so get your act together and make sure that the people who have lost out because of you and your crew are compensated.
We will see what the outcome is. I am not holding my breath.
I am totally disgusted with the high handed attitude of the "haves" to the " don't haves".
