F&M has the best glass displays out of all the stores, I'm used to Paris where store fronts are dedicated for children. So it's whimsical and Christmas-y unlike the brand sponsored displays at Harrod's and Selfridges. They even have platforms where the kids can stand to watch the marionettes dance at the Galeries Lafayette, Le Bon Marché. Christmas after all, is for the children and children at heart.

The shop windows are such an art form and a lot of thought and knowledge and skills has gone into developping them. I love the brocolli my favourite vegetable. Shops shouldn't be against filming inside. They should understand that people who flm and put it up on youtube are just showing other people what it's like who can't actually go and see for themselves

@tommoncrieff11542 жыл бұрын
It’s because legally the store must not allow the filming of customers and subsequent broadcast without the customers’ knowledge and consent. By allowing you to film but not requiring you to gain customers’ approval they are putting themselves in a grey area. Also, not everyone is going to be saying nice things. some will be slagging off F&M, you could get a Marxist commentary showing customers saying they are the rich exploiting the poor. Etc.
@alibol23432 жыл бұрын
@@tommoncrieff1154 Yes I completely get that about not filming customers. I would hate to find myself on Internet in someone's youtube video when I was shopping or doing anything else and I am a big advocate about personal privacy. The solution would be for these shops to film inside their own shop so you can really see all the products because not all of what they sell is online and you can't feel the atmosphere of Christmas by shopping online it's just not the same feeling.
@AuntBecky12 жыл бұрын
@@tommoncrieff1154 just out of curiosity…which law are you referring to? I am not aware of any law prohibiting filming inside a store in the UK. A store rule or policy is very different than an actual law. I am also not aware of any law prohibiting filming without consent. I am not saying you are wrong. I would just like to know so I can be informed.
