More Cinema Confusion

I started work this morning by sending five separate families down to the Booth's Bookshop Cinema to see the film. Later in the day, I sent someone else down there, and they told me that they had asked where it was at the Festival, and the person on the information desk sent them to the Cinema Bookshop - "just across from the Swan", she said. Which is really not very helpful for the people who have paid to see the films, and not very helpful for us at the Cinema Bookshop either, who are nothing to do with the new cinema, or the Festival.
Then a local chap came in, waving his ticket - and he didn't know where the new cinema was, either!

I find it amusing that some of these people attending the "literary" festival can't read!
First they park in and around the estates that all have "parking for residents only" signs ,and now they can't tell the difference between Hay Cinema Bookshop and Booths Bookshop Cinema.

Perhaps the HCB should take a leaf out of Georges Braque's book and have a painting done that says "Ce n'est pas une cinéma"
