Instead of spending millions of pounds turning George Square in Glasgow into a replica of Philapdelphia for the new Brad Pitt movie World War Z (that’s zee apparently and not zed), replacing all of the road signs and traffic lights with American equivalents and shipping in a load of yellow taxis for good measure, why did they not just make the film in, well, Philadelphia?  Surely that would have been a lot cheaper and, perish the thought, a lot more authentic? 

It has also been reported that the Jolie/Pitt entourage hired an entire train for their journey today – you can bet they didn’t suffer the delays and disasters that befall us mere mortals on this route and you can bet your bottom dollar they didn’t have to eat the same revolting food that we can purchase from the buffet car!!!  But are they happy?  ……….
