Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
My family want me to go to where GMTV are filming for Christmas. I reckon there will be no chance to get on TV as so many people make it their own mission.
Although my mate got on there 2 years ago and her Mum saw her:wub: Has anyone ever been to the beach and got on TV for the GMTV christmas filming and how did it make you feel? My friend said she felt ever so sad after her Mum called her to say that she had seen her.:( I will go - just to see the crowds getting filmed but I cant envisage being lucky enough to get filmed. It so doesnt feel like christmas to me at the moment, the shops make far more of an effort here than they ever did where I lived in the UK, it just feels rather odd. Mr PP is working xmas day we think so I am going to go to South Beach I reckon. But I would like to know if anyone has done the Cottesloe thing at Christmas. Oh yes, Polar Xpress with Tom Hanks is on Channel 9 at the moment, I love the Christmas movies:thumbsup: |

I'm not kidding Sam it was pretty awful, lots of people pushing and shoving to get to the front just to wave to the camera :blink: To be honest I was pretty disgusted at the behaviour of the so called adults - my 8 year old daughter got pushed and shoved quite a lot, and my 4 year old niece was stood on by one delighful lady :mad: who didn't even have the deceny to say sorry to her. After saying that my son managed to get on TV (just!) and was even on the small clip they put on the GMTV website. I am glad I went as it's something I wanted to do, but I won't do it again. :) The weather was crap too, it rained most of the day :D |

Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
Didnt someone complain of a Welsh family that stood on and really hurt their kids - pushing and shoving to get on camera - I think it was last year.
Oh dear, I shall tell Dad not to expect anything.:o |

Oh dear, I shall tell Dad not to expect anything.:o I think there was something posted along those lines, I may just go and have a look for it :D To be honest Sam, I think a 'home made' video would be better :) at least your Dad gets to see just you then and what a lovely gift that would be - maybe you could film something and youtube it? or even just post it across to him |

I always got quite tearful watching the Christmas live feeds, never ever did I realise I would be one of those people wanting to give my family a 2 second glimpse of myself.:o |

I guess I dont want Mr PP to work, I might hook up with a work pal to go to the beach. We dont even have a BBQ yet - buying a house is so expensive and I said to Mr PP that we have more urgent things to pay for such as our termite treatment is now due (high risk area) and a couple of other things. Then I look at the garden which is in such a bad need of a garden makeover it isnt true and you wonder how/when it will get sorted. I cant put decorations up as Gordon will eat them and no doubt Rocky the Super Kelpie will help him:eek: Mr PP said we are going to fill the fridge with goodies and I shall go to South Beach for a swim - I cant wait for that - Perths beaches really are something special and it will be nice and hot. Its just strange Wendy, I cant describe why but it is, probably to do with my Mum and everything. I shall build my own tradition but I guess I am just floundering a bit.:o |

It does get easier as time goes by though :) |

Nice for her and the other friends/relatives to see us sunning ourselves with the Opera House in the background while they had the central heating up full blast. A slight irony that the only time I've got on UK national tv was from 10,000 miles away. |
Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
Personally I can't think of anything worse than spending Xmas morning on the beach with thousands of plebby Brits and their stupid flags.
What is it with all the regional flags people seem to want to display in public on auspicious days like Xmas, or even worse Australia day? (No wonder it kicked off at Mullaloo last year). No one cares that you are from Hartlepool or East Kilmarnock, you might but no one else does. Get Skype, much better idea. |

Just take it easy Sam, don't put any pressure on yourself to feel 'normal' as it will be different. It does get easier as time goes by though :) And yes, you do miss family more at this time of year, I always feel teary after webcamming my parents on xmas day whereas any other day i'm fine....! all part and parcel i guess |
Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
So if it doesn't feel right go ahead and have your trad English Chirstmas feast. I alternate. We have a vast roast and veg, Xmas puds, brandy balls and the lot and then I say I'm never doing it again and we're having a barbie next year. Trouble is noone thinks a barbie was a real Xmas even if we have special stuff.
WE do the church thing. We go to carols in the park or whatever and walk lunch off on the beach then go visiting people. It's just different without family but you caqn make your own traditions. When we lived in a housebus, we used to gather pine and greenery to decorate the bus and bake star shaped shortbread which we decorated with silver balls and hung from the handrails. It was still special. |
Re: Cottelsoe Beach and GMTV
i dont mean the food doesnt feel right, just having christmas when it's hot... i always feel christmassy when it's colder!!!
