Which part of it are you not getting over? Their gender? The kind of job they were given? Whether the clothes seemed right for them? The fact that your dad was conveyed in a horse-drawn vehicle (I've seen lots of hearses, but never ever a horse-drawn one.)

Wot be a beefeater?

According to my friend Wikipedia, "The Yeomen Warders of Her Majesty's Royal Palace and Fortress the Tower of London, popularly known as the Beefeaters, are ceremonial guardians of the Tower of London. In principle they are responsible for looking after any prisoners at the Tower and safeguarding the British crown jewels, but in practice they act as tour guides and are a tourist attraction in their own right."

My favorite thing to do in London (aside from use the Tube) was touring the Tower of London with a beefeater. It's the first thing I recommend to anyone I *ever* hear is going to London for the first time.

That job would be so very cool.

And ... hee hee ... pheloxi, you're awesome.
