Made the mistake of going back to the wake thing. It was at a British Legion Club, which was an experience. It was decorated with oil paintings of battleships and spitfires and there was a picture of the Queen c. 1960.
There was the buffet. Mystery sandwiches, buns, tea, samosas, pork pies, Scotch eggs, weeny pizzas, other stuff.
I tucked in. noooo:
I regret it now noooo:
Some mystery spicey stuff is repeating on me and it was at a funny time of day (3.00) . I bet everyone there is regretting it now noooo:

Never understand why they do that.... The food is usually like that... and either too much or not enough... noooo:
When we lost Dad 18 months ago Mum refused to have any of that and we all went to a nice restaurant and had beautiful home made soup with fresh bread then home made pastry's and cake ... It was lovely.... He would have loved it.. cloud9:
Fitting end .. cloud9:

My Yorkshire Nan, Arkwright, used to say, "Bury 'em with ham". I didn't really know what she meant until I was older when I realised she was referring to the sandwiches at the wake

Famously the third Reich made the mistake of going for cabbage futures.

a propos of not much, if you ever need a funeral buffet organised near Woking then the Rowbarge does a cracking one. No hedgehogs but brilliant sarnies and definitely more sausage than roll

I spoke to the deceased's widow, as you do. SHe claimed not to know me. I only saw her last week evil:
Come to think of it, I did a little leaving do for my team at Scunthorpe a year ago at my regular hotel. ALl they could offer was the "Funeral Buffet". It was quite good :thumbsup:

You speak for yourself (there are some little blue tablets that may help you). Some of us don't have a problem finding a stiff, not that I am into necrophilia you understand.

Blimey, the most intellectual funeral I have ever been to!! Felt like I ought to be taking notes!!
SIX funeral orators from Oxford, Harvard, Marseilles, Paris, Nottingham and London. Music by Jacques Brel and Leonard Cohen. AN H0UR AND THREE QUARTERS!!
When the sixth one started off with "I would like to start this in 1965..." I nearly lost the will to live.
Club and buffet predictably posh (knee deep carpets and many chandeliers) and the buffet?
"Chargrilled polenta with a beetroot jus" gives you the idea razz:
-
No inappropriately dressed for the occasion totty then?
Very poor show
-
None at all. Everyone there seemed to have academic credentials as long as your arm. All the chit chat was about "Do you remember that marvellous conference in Kuala Lumpur about the cultural impact of Sartre on European Existentialism?" or "I am so pleased Nick managed to finish his Magnum Opus on Marseilles before his demise"

You should have talked about edification via weather forecasts
