Well it's just nick-name that, in Australia, we give to anyone whose surname starts with Mc or Mac. So in my thoughts I just always find myself calling Ian, "Macca"! Actually I thought they did the same in the UK but maybe it is just an Aussie thing.

We also call McDonald's restaurants, Macca's. In fact I can't remember the last time I heard an Aussie call it by it's proper name!

Anyway, getting back to Ian I also loved the fact that he played a traditional dame role in a pantomime too (another life-long ambition I heard). I would have loved to have seen that!
