There is WhatsApp for that. In my humble opinion, We don't really want this forum flooded with personal videos.

It wouldn't be flooded its just somethings are saved to phone. Plus sometimes its good to add abit of humor to things. But i hope you watched the link and enjoyed it.

Hi Martyn,

This reminded me of someone who said that we're all "sheep" in Spain for following the mandatory rules about mask-wearing, especially during a Spanish summer.  My response?  Our police carry guns, LOL!

Thanks for sharing,

Kim

Hello Martyn

'Humour' is very subjective & that video didn't appeal to me . I'm with tebo53, I wouldn't want to find stuff like that on this forum, I send & receive lots of funny/clever/interesting/uplifting  things on whatsapp  to/from  friends (I know what they like)  ...that works better for me.

Cheers

We're all sheep for getting infected then, or not wearing a mask, either way we follow someone/something haha. Glad you liked the video, i sent it to my Russian friend and she sent me the full video,its worth a Google search lol.

If we could upload whatsapp videos, for those who say its not a good idea let me run this by you....i or another poster may see something that they want info on or want to provide info for the people on here. Take humor aside because i agree it is subjective, there are so many things we can share to assist others e.g a poster may not. Be technically savvy and needs directions that they cant follow on Google maps because its off the road or whatever, someone who lives near may video it and show them. Thats just one example.

Martyn, I just can't understand why you are so intent on getting people to agree with you....

Forums like this one is for information about Spain and this particular forum is for Benidorm.

If this forum gets loaded with funny, silly or remotely annoying clips then we will end up with videos of dogs and cats and children etc, etc which will (imho) eventually stop posters from offering good and valuable information to travellers, holidaymakers or even families who are desperate to live here so please put your video clips on a website designed for such things...

I think i covered why i believe we should be aloud videos on here and even give an example. I'm not bothered if you agree or not tbh, i posted the video kimmy thought it was funny you and elain didnt and i respected your opinions. I then, as previously stated, said that putting jokes aside believe that videos we have filmed may come in handy, so do me the same and respect my opinion. 

Not everyone will agree with what you say and not everyone will agree with me. But some people will agree with you amd some will agree with me, weather you like it or not.

Hi Martyn

Perhaps if a response includes a vid, might it be better to do that via PM on this platform? No one would/could object and the desire to share in this manner would be satiated

Just an idea. Not wanting to offend you, but I don’t want to have sit through vids to find out if I found them of any value 🤪🥂
