Just curious really, but I've noticed that a number of / a lot of sites use latin text as space fillers, for want of a better word.

Why, plus what are they saying. Is it a generic sentence or are they bespoke to each designer / website?

Ian,

It's always the same block of text, Wikipedia has a nice article on it: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum

Thanks,

Andrew

This site  has a bit more explanation as well as a simple, but very useful, generator.
