Apart from werk (which pays the bills) I've been quizzing stonemasons and a certain cemetery (which naturally doesn't pay the bills )To say that the pricing structure is arcane would be a gross understatement ... I think when all is set and done I'll file it under black comedy, Six Feet Under comes to mind. How many characters on the inscription? D'you want them hand cut or sandblasted? D'you want gold infill with that or just plain? Is the existing headstone stable? We might need to anchor it ... that'll be another £189.60 - VAT included How much a character? So, you want another £200 to put a jar in a hole? What if we just do a sort of scatter? Ah! £75... but we can't open it up again? Why would we want to? Because there's space in there for three more Oh Lordy... that means I've now got to think seriously about where I want ... er.... yes, you've guessed it. Anyone thought / decided yet about where they want their mortal bits to rest? All I wanted was a price

Back home ... after two weird days oop North Rail tracks broken ... take the buzzatellya ... train stations with no cab rank ... pub where they look at you as if you've landed from outer space when you ask for a local taxi service ... Pub with a chalk board saying (in easy to read lower case letters) " fancy a nibble ... try our bread and oil dip " Probably an upgrade from bread 'n' dripping.Bar staff getting every third order wrong (ordering drinks for those at the wake ... not just me before you ask)Being asked three times if my breakfast is to my liking ... ... Oh, and being told you can eat everything if you like ... Asking for directions and being told the place we want is next to the Seafarer Chippy ... everybody knows where the Seafarer is... Wading through police, journalists and cameramen at Crewe station because a politician is about to arrive ... Home at last ...
