    Golden Wonder Security Gaurd

    Golden Wonder Security Trying "Badly" to stop some chap taking photos of there factory from a public footpath. Its quite funny to be honest, clearly the security are / where useless and didn't have a clue about what they were saying, as for that attitudes & bad languages. IMO they need to retrain there staff

    Edit:

    jobsworth indeed, but that bloke is being a bit of a prat just hanging around waiting for them to have a go ...
    the cuts in the video where the security were not there were surely enough time to take his shots and move on ...
    Dont get me wrong, im all for freedom to take shots where ever you like etc, but being a persistent nuisance (even when you are in the right) is just a bit odd IMO!

    I agree, politely tell them to Fcuk off, take your photos and move on, there is no point arguing the toss wasting your time and breath. But it just shows how the companies don't train there staff, regardless of there knowledge of the guys rights her attitude and way she approaches and goes about "doing her job" was almost unbelievable bad in every way.

    One of the things that amused me about this vid was trying to imagine the kind of conversation that was going on inside the building as the security folks watched the guy continue to stand there and take pics against orders. It must have been hilarious!

    I agree about the guys motives for doing it but even so it certainly made me laugh. In many ways what this guy has done is to bring more light onto the subject.
