Should people bring children on a shoot day? So, like, Sling could get a little bit ranty about this one, so...
It's not a no and it's
not a
yes.
I'd just like to say it's very situation dependent.
Would you like to take a deep breath before we go into this? Okay, right.
So basically, this is how it goes.
In my opinion, if you're a gun, do what you like.
If you have a child who is capable of getting in and out of a car, capable of being left on their own for a minute, capable of not requiring continual things because they are moaning, then yes.
If the shoot allows it, if there is capacity for it, et cetera, et cetera, then I don't see that there is a problem.
But let's be honest, those children generally are school age plus.
Yeah.
And I absolutely am all for the like sort of like 10 plus, eight plus kids.
Because if you've got a child that's sensible and a child that is keen and interested, then 100%.
Some of these kids don't even want to do it.
They're just kicking around and absolutely hating it.
Bored.
To be fair, sometimes that's probably my children.
But I don't have a lot of choice.
And some people don't have a choice.
And I get that.
You know, I go to plenty of shoots where maybe the shoot host has got a child.
And so they have to take them.
That's their prerogative.
That's their car.
