Oh, Mighty Oracle :)  I was wondering if Chris has been noticed
when recording videos like Fix You when he was in the back
alleys and The Scientist when he was walking down the high
street. I'm sure there must be people who are Coldplay fans and
would want to meet him if they saw him in the street. Thanks. PS
Hey from UK.  The Oracle replies:  I'm intrigued by your "hey
from the UK" - I'm in the UK too... Anyway, to business. Video
shoots are normally a closed set so there's not generally people
there who aren't meant to be if you know what I mean. People in
videos are usually extras rather than random folk in the
background too. There are some occasions where that's not
possible like the London Underground scenes in Paradise. Also
Fix You as you mentioned, but that was shot at night and nobody
was around. The public are very respectful when filming is
taking place and tend not to approach. Maybe they just feel it
wouldn't be appropriate timing but
