However, people can have strong opinions and the traffic might well get heated! I’m against censorship as that denies the concept of free speech, but we do not want to task Bernie with ‘blue-pencilling’ messages!
> Slightly religious, though: filming in Bangkok, Thailand, unlike European city locations, we were not permitted to drive ourselves there, since the locals were suicidally lunatic, and in the event of a prang, the police would lock everyone up and sort it out later. We had a very good young chap to drive the sound van. Sitting up front beside him one morning, I asked if he was Buddhist, as the city abounds with temples dedicated to Buddha.
