Totty? You're calling Boudicca TOTTY?!
You can tell you're a Legio II Augusta man, Kevin
I recently re-read Anya Seton's novel titled the Mistletoe and Sword concerning, you guessed it, Boudicca and the "ambush" of the IXth Legion.
Interestingly, well known in her day for good research although she fails to list the secondary sources she consuled, Seton places the final battle for Boudicca in Epping Forest.
Now, there's a thought...(although of course it would not have been known as Epping Forest in AD60-odd)

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, Merlot in one hand, Cigar in the other; body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming "WOO HOO, what a ride!
