There’s this Money Saving Expert who goes out with a weather girl. One Saturday during a trip to the shops, it’s pouring with rain and they’re romantically huddled under a broken down umbrella she’d been given as a freebie. He says, “Why didn’t you tell me it was going to rain?”, she says, “Why didn’t I buy a decent umbrella?”.

Outside my local supermarket there are three banks’ cash machine’s in the wall. Today I needed some cash, so went straight to one of the two empty ones (Abbey and Barclays).

Having recently been out filming on the Millennium bridge in London, I wanted to blog about the added difficulty of filming in front of the general public. It’s never easy; planes flying overhead and loud buses and lorries already mean filming often stops due to the distraction of the noise. Yet in public spaces there’s always a...
