Ah, right, I'd seen something about that. Most people do stupid stuff at Uni. I'm much more bothered by the fact that he never grew out of it!

With that particular firm, the ceremony is "unattended," which means nobody is there. So the relatives have no idea what the ceremony is like. "Their own beautiful crematorium" isn't open to the public either, and serves the whole country!
This advert is very misleading.

What an interesting set of questions. For me, they're all (just) the same town - Stockport - but I've not seen the place for nearly 30 years, and I've no-one there now.
So it's very much a place I've "come from," not a place I "belong to."

To be fair, the fossil fuel lobby HAD spent a lot of money on the conference. It's only fair they should have a return on their investment!

Everyone should go to Blackpool once.
Any more than that should only be to take someone else (eg kids, for the 'Luminations).

I used to be a chaplain with the Air Cadets. One year at camp, the guy in charge declared on Day 1 "This will be a No Smoking camp."
Privately, I explained the likely consequences of that policy, a bunch of addicted teenagers going cold turkey!
Next day, he announced a designated smoking area. Phew!
