In one of these sat a group of shirtless (ie sunburned) youths, one of whom shouted "SPECCY!" at me (or us, we're both four-eyed) as we passed. Speccy! I hadn't heard that one since I was at Elmgrove. I almost wanted to go and shake his hand for momentarily returning me to the halcyon days of childhood. But I didn't.
