I met my first tik-tok influencer today. He posted a video that's been viewed 1.5 million times. He's about 12. I have never seen anyone perform the tricks he did on his phone screen, so quickly and so professionally, I was gob smacked.

I dont actually know what he calls himself! The video was 'I'm in Spain and your (sic) not.' I've had a look for it but there are literally thousands of them. It's a thing, apparently.

😐 I think "a thing" is referred to as "a trend" . . . TikTok trends . . .

That's one of the best jobs Great per diem Lots of variety of location and usually the same crew, Food is generally awesome too Actors come and go But a snuggly big van is a godsend when you're in the arse end of nowhere

😊 I remember the subsidy on the canteen making steak as cheap as chips . . . N from technical point of view actors are a pain in the arse (apparently) wont to take multiple shots with bolt action single shot rifles while £10k pyrotechnics wasted in the background.

I don't think they pay for food? I never did. Some of the forrin shoots are so remote, the locals would queue up to use the stand pipes for clean water and loo's This is in EU as well Kinnell!

😊 The YTV canteen at base was subsidised. Not sure about the mobile canteen on location, assumed that was the same . . . I remember popz saying the single guys who worked at base would just eat all their meals in the canteen cos it was cheaper than buying it . . .

☺️ I think he saw a lot of changes and was probably in the heyday of TV . . . He used to be on 4 10hr days which meant you could have 10 days off by booking 4 . . . Then they changed em to 5 8hr days which meant booking 6 days to get 10 off Then they changed it to annualised hours . . .

πŸ€” The annualised hours they could give you 48hr notice of working on any given day and 24 hr notice if you were working 4 - 14 hrs that day . . . And of course to get 10 days off you then had to book 10 . . .
