We just found out that Bridget Jone’s Baby is a Samba Top!
Here’s a cracking story for your Friday round up. Y’see, Hailsham-based Westways Vending is often asked to supply vending machines for special events and promotions. Recently these requests have included a drinks vending machine for the launch of a new canned beer and a snack vending machine, for a romantic comedy film set in an office.
So, when they were approached about helping out on another film set, they took it in their stride. Little did they know that they were about to be part of the blockbuster of the year!
Samba Top
Westway engineer, Stephen Toghill, had the task of delivering an N&W Samba Top vending machine to the film studios. On arrival he was shown where it was to be installed. Imagine the excitement when he phoned to say he was on the film set of Bridget Jones’s Baby! Disconcertingly, he also told them that they were sworn to secrecy until the launch!
All this happened back in November last year, and they have been anxiously waiting to see whether their machine made it into the film, or was left on the cutting room floor. They knew that it was located in the waiting room at the maternity unit, and it was a brilliant moment when it was spotted in one of the Facebook trailers.
‘We’re all going out to see the film tonight’, co-Founder Ian Baker told PV. Have fun!
