I ran home on Tuesday and passed the set of Spiderman: No Way Home, currently filming in Glasgow city centre.
The film had cordoned off a street while filming what appears to be a chase involving Spiderman and a tank. I could see the tank and what appeared to be Spiderman standing on top of it. Various modified cherry pickers carried big banks of lights and I could see crew bustling about as they got ready to film.
Earlier, Mrs TwinBikeRun, who works on the street, was blocked from leaving her office at lunchtime by one of the crew. A man in a hi-viz jacket stopped her and said: “We’re just about start filming, can you wait until we’re finished? You should also get your camera out.”
“Why?” said Mrs TwinBikeRun, “do you not have people to do that?”
They didn’t laugh.
