    Well, quick update, and because I think it will have some hilarity and because without the Clampetts in my life right now all I will have to look forward forward to is Mrs Js New Years Vegetarianism and endless packing and humping, I have authorised the camper thing.

    in lancashire - till not so long ago - it used to be traditional for the dead person to be returned by the undertaker to the house they had died in - and then neighbours and family came to keep them company, pay their respects, and have a pre-funeral wake, the night before the funeral.... a grand time was had by all
