Almost worth dying for that, I spent more on an LCD TV. The cost of a funeral these days is prohibitive, my mum died earlier this year and I could hardly believe what the cost was - I almost got the spade out.disgruntledpostie1 wrote:A whole £653, now that really worth paying the extra subs

I am truly humbled, the location has been added to my last will and testament as a place to scatter my ashes, many have plots but who amongst us qualifies for a whole Tomb?disgruntledpostie1 wrote:http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?ll=54.602 ... h&hl=en-GB I didn't even realise what I'd typeddvbuk55 wrote:No!
