Pontins Camber Sands 1997 - PTV Adverts / Filler - "B*L*U*E*S"

^ My, what a troll you managed to get commenting here!

I've recently uploaded a Camber Sands SKY NEWS item from 1990, filmed the day I started there myself as a Blue. I hated the job and left after five weeks (actually, it wasn't so much the job as the wages, catering, accomodation and colleagues!). Was the TV station still in that innocuous little room across a pathway from the downstairs ballroom by 1997?

Yes - and it still is!

What a sad video. Those people must be desperate for a job.

And 1997? 1970-80s surely, judging by the naff song and the shel suits.

1. You're from Greece, so I assume that you have at least one person you know who is a Holiday Rep at a Greek Holiday Resort? This is from a UK Holiday Resort and was a promo advert on the resorts internal TV system which was available on every accommodations TV set and was made by the people you see. We were basically all asked to do something daft and was used as a filler between programmes.

You don't work at a Holiday Resort as a Rep for the money, you do it for the love & fun of the job.

I'm not from Greece, I just live here.

I was looking at the video because I went to Camber Sands in the 70s.

It was naff then, and despite the passage of time, is still naff.

2. Is IS 1997 and the music that was originally on here was "I'll be there for you" by The Rembrandts, but the YouTube copyright system removed the clip and replaced it with something similar.

Any other negative comments you want to make?

[Mirry57]

You should complain, then, because that music is embarrassing even just to listen to.

[GingerNinjaNet]

Oh and I will agree with you on the shell suits, we didn't wear them as fashion items but they WERE practical and didn't get dirty easily.

[Mirry57]

You mean the muck didn't show?
