Busses

Was not looking forward to a day without any work and then the phone started ringing. Three removals came in in the space of an hour? I was detailed on all of them but am paying with a sore back after walking downstairs backwards with a stretcher. We then went off to a Nursing Home. Of course the building was not constructed with any thought to removing the deceased on a stretcher so another tight squeeze and a struggle. Still the day has gone quick and also kept my mind occupied.
It is 25 years today since the Bradford Football Fire. 56 people lost their lives. It was all started by a discarded match or ciggie? I wonder if the person who ditched the smouldering ember was part of the death toll or is still alive and realises it was them that caused it. Well 'them' and a very poor cleaning regime under the stand as it was filled with rubbish and combustible material? Just shows you how your life can change in the blink of an eye.

A friend has just got back from staying in a cheap hotel for the night. He went to see the manager to complain about the persons TV in the next room as the walls were so thin. The manager asked him if he could hear the TV? He said, hear it, I can sit and watch it? Mind you he did say a good point was, that the towels were thick and fluffy. So much so, that he could not shut his suitcase properly!
