Re: Burial versus cremation

I will try to lay to rest this idea of switching coffins at crematoriums. Bodies deteriorate very quickly and leak.

We went to school carrying our books in gas mask bags. During the summer we wore kaki shorts and I bet their was a glut of clothing originall...

Re: What's happened.

I would suggest that cooking fish is an art and not in the domain of many folk. The fish and chip shops thrived as the wet fish shops closed. How society changed.

To-day we saw the ceremonies remembering the lives lost at the Dardanelles and its right that these heroes should be remembered. However nothing is said about the war crime committed against the Sandringham company who although they had surrended were executed. To-day an old geezer who worked as a c...

On numerous occasions the coffin was trawled up until one skipper decided to bring the coffin into harbour. It turned out the coffin wasn't what the deceased relatives had paid for but cheap rubbish and wasn...
