And , incidentally, at the WHAT cafe ?I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.
I am not a number, I am a free man.

Shurely caphetarium is the Latin?
"Turcae habent etiam in usu herbae genus quam vocant Caphe ... quam dicunt haud parvum praestans illis vigorem, et in animas (sic) et in ingenio; quae tamen largius sumpta mentem movet et turbat..." F Bacon, Hist. Vitae et Mortis, 25 [1623].

Two women chatting outside a primary school earlier on:
"Well I was skinny, SKINNY, until I had HIM!!!" - pointing a waving finger down at the five-year-old she had gripped by the other hand, poor little chap.
I guess many people just don't realise how funny their remarks can sound, when caught out of context.

" . . . taking on people with learning disabilities!", Well, there seems to have been a policy of appointing people with very poor fiscal learning skills as CEOs of big banks.
