A burial today and to be honest I know now why I prefer the other. Despite valiant attempts by the Grave Diggers (sorry Sexton's) the grave kept filling with water. As we lowered the coffin it almost floated. Nothing anyone could do about it as they were pumping out until the last second. I usually give instructions if it is own bearers. However on this occasion they were adamant they knew what they were doing and needed no instruction. So after the coffin was on their shoulder I politely asked one of them to turn around as he was facing the wrong way!!!!
Remember the HSBC ATM fraud fiasco? Well my neighbours were done yet again from the same machine (yes I know) and I received a phone call today from a Representative of the Bank to try and explain how the ATM could keep getting compromised over a month period. She was a little out of her depths with the answers to my questions but basically she was inferring that even the Bank staff do not know how to identify a compromised machine? We stand no chance then. Mind you after bombarding them with e mails ,any answer is better than none?
I can't understand why the majority of the British just accept things if they go wrong?
A quaint phrase was used today. We were told that someone was on their last legs!!
Now how many pairs of legs do we get. Ok toddlers legs is one I suppose. Drunk legs is another. But listen if the Post Office van arrives with a parcel for you and they tell you it is your 'Last Legs' then don't accept it????
