Why did I say yes

Post by merlin50 »

Last week a man turned up from ITV and he was from May the best house win, he said he was looking for four houses to be in the TV show and ours was just what he was looking for. I said yes thinking we would not hear from him again. Well this week we have been told the film crew will be here at the end of the month filming for two and a half days. :shock:

Make sure you upgrade the security, the pikeys love a good look around before they case the joint.

And you about to show them :huray:

The pikeys have already tried, when the ww2 air raid siren goes off followed by 12g alarm mines, and that is just for starters.

I had one of those programmes shoot in my pub in Devon. The guy whose house it was, had to keep buying drinks for continuity reasons. Having worked in that industry, I know what tight bastards Producers are, so I told the guy that the film company should be buying the drinks and not him. They moaned, but started buying his drinks!

Never let a film crew in your home!!!!
