My mother told me that she was listening to a programme on the radio about youth violence or something and one of the callers mentioned that her son was given a lot of abuse (physical and verbal) for wearing his FCA uniform in public. Its not something I really thought about until I was walking along Dame St (on the day of the anti-war protest) carrying my FCA Duffel bag and some crusty wanker spat on the ground and shouted something about the army as I passed.
How has everyone else found the reaction while in uniform?
