Oh yes . . my latest "creation" - aired at the British Museum - was filmed around London. I got a "permit" from the local Council and was ONLY challeneged/accosted once by a a lady, a worse for the drink, on what the F@#%K I was doing! Oh she summoned an official, I whipped out me laminated "permit" and he actually tipped his cap at me - hah! I actually think I returned the salute . .. weird . .. I've never even been in the military either.
