One time we were visiting my mum. Roman sandals were the fashion. We walked passed some wee boys and they started shouting, "Hail, Caesar!" at me. He was shocked at the cheek of them. He told the story a few years later and I had forgotten, I just accepted it as normal. In fact, that was polite compared to some of the things you hear. <BR/><BR/>I really miss hearing the patter.
