Blog 47 - Action, Camera, Police

So I've managed to get some time to film again and have headed back to Guildford to continue filming. Gabi has stayed in London as we feel like we need to get out of each other's hair.

When running around the high street dressed as a crazed bearded woman brandishing a large knife it is often a good idea to contact the Police in advance of filming to avoid getting yourself into a tight spot.

This video perfectly demonstrates the Police/knife phenomenon! It's incredible how the CCTV system works, I can see how big brother issues can arise! But in my case, it was understandable!

"Normal in America" well it's never happened to me and I live in a fairly densely populated are where there have been some pretty major crimes recently. But whether it's normal or not it's generally not something you'd WANT to happen.

ha ha! Sorry, I was merely referring to the fact that cops carry Guns in the US whereas that is only a recent thing that only some Police carry in England is all! No I can imagine you dont normally end up at the wrong end of a gun!

Ha ha ha, hey Rob. I spent a day in Guildford yesterday so slightly surreal watching you and your beard (and the knife) running around there. Brilliant little episode, absolutely loved it.

It will not take long and the CCTV cameras will have remotly operated guns mounted on them, and if you cough too loud in the morning: ratatatatah! :)
