Yesterday
I went to my first Stitch’n'Bitch knitting group, somewhere just off the South Bank, so I did my usual “go to Walkit, work out quiet route, follow quiet route.”
Regrettably, Walkit, whilst it is utterly brilliant, doesn’t take account of things like film premieres.
The quiet route took me through Leicester Square.
Leicester Square on the evening that Quantum of Solace premiered.
Ah.
Unfortunately, by the time I realised there was a problem, I was in too deep to extricate myself with dignity intact, so I threw myself on the mercy of a passing policeman and said “I need to get to Charing Cross, help.”
He said “so do I, follow me, Miss,” and started barrelling his way through the crowds. Now, if you’re at a film premiere, being escorted through crowds by a large policeman, people think you’re important, and the cameras start going off.
Hee hee. There are now, I assume, several people desperately trying to work out who I am in the film, although logic dictates that I can’t have been anyone terribly important, or I’d have arrived on the red carpet in a limo like everyone else.

LOL. We all think you’re important!

Heh, heh! Great story!

Was he wearing a helmet?
(I get to keep my stereotypes for eight more months!)

Yes, he was wearing a helmet. And a bright yellow hi-vis jacket over his navy serge uniform.
