Looking for a grip/gopher in the UK

I'm heading to the UK in about 10 days and haven't yet found someone to assist me there. I basically need an all-around gopher who can do everything from take photos to carry equiptment to make phone calls. It isn't glamorous and the pay is lousy, but it could be fun. If you like bears, that's a plus for both us and you! Experience is great but not necessary.

I could use someone in Manchester, London or both.

I'd appreciate any leads you might offer.

Thanks!

To bad you weren't coming to Canada. Your job discription sounds exactly what I'm doing at this time for a production company(mainstream) that I'm freelancing with. Check out www.mandy.com or www.adulthire.com you might be able to find a production asst. there.

I second the motion for shooting in Canada instead Andy. I'm in Bear country luv! Plus I'm a good grip and 2nd ad, and personal assistant and fluffer.... :)

I'll email you a possible lead for the UK though.

Hey try gaydar.co.uk. You'd probably find some horny fucker to do it for free actually.

We're based in London so if you need any info just let me know..
