“  Apart from telling the film-makers what I don’t want to see in Tesco, then there is no interference in the subject matter. Of course, I don’t want anything too risqué. Nothing that would be 18-rated and that would not sit well on our shelves.

Off to San Francisco for the first time in months. Sure hope they still have burritos. And beer. Enough for 5 days, too.
