• We live car free which means we’re on first name terms with Jose, our main man at the hertz rental place in Kings Cross.

• I was quite excited about Hoppers after seeing the trailer. There were some great moments, (especially the game-of-thrones style killing-off of a main-character) but it did feel like a lot of the “Laughs” were shown in the trailer. Also, from halfway through it just became a bit manic with so much peril. Directors no longer have any chill.
• Picturehouse in Finsbury park showed 24 minutes of adverts before the film, at which the kids almost walked out.
