Just seen news with people on the beach ... would love to know what happens if seen in TV for whatever ... with some one else or should be at work but skiving off ... years ago happened to a work colleague, off ill but got caught in a queue by tv cameras queuing for a concert for a well known singer !!! Never knew the outcome but management did see !!!

Years ago some girls sneaked out of school to go and see the Stones and were on the T.V. that night. All hell to pay at school.
I suppose if you take a risk and are caught on camera you have to pay the consequences. Like the old saying"Your sins will find you out".

My indolent ex brother in law called in sick and was caught queueing for the DFS January sale.

DD was once given the day off from her school - unheard of- because she and SIL had been given Centre Court tickets for the last Friday of Wimbledon. She knew that if she “threw a sickie” the cameras would be bound to zoom in on her in the crowd, plus that’s not the sort of thing she would do. Because she had put in extra days on a school trip which had overlapped the weekend, her Head was really sympathetic and agreed -but urged her not the breathe a word in school and “FGS keep your head down and wear a hat!”

Many years ago my OH had a local photo shoot for a nightclub on the Bonnie Banks .The last in the series of photographs was to be the crowded dancefloor on a Saturday night .This club had busses arrive from all over central Scotland and further .

He sat on the side of the dancefloor and set off a controlled flash ,lifted his camera and ......abracadabra the dancers had all fled the room .
When he spoke to one of the guys outside he was told this was the place they came with their girlfriends ...pictures would cause huge problems with wives when they were used in adverts in newspapers.
Photos were taken the next day,but set up with a contolled invited crowd who weren't with people they shouldn't have been with .
