wasn't Rhyader Crematorium mentioned some while back ? - Very mid wales that....

No Mr J said Radyr, which is just on the outskirts of Cardiff, although the crem is actaully in a area called Thornhill which is about 3 miles from Radyr.

I've booked the day off on Wednesday to go and pay my repects and represent MSE;)

What's happening? Is Enid 'Lying in State' at the back of the Campervan?

I know Thornhill cemetary - 2 of my grand parents went 'up in smoke' there - pity these is no website for it with a list of up-and-coming incinerations.....

afternoon troops.

Not much to tell really today, calm before the storm maybe.

Enid is arriving here at the campervan at 3pm. I have been asked to be a pull bearer as Billy Bob has a bad back and cant take the weight of Enid's hunchback on his lonesome.

Mrs C has asked to borrow the kitchen tomorrow afternoon to prepare the gourmet iceland feast in prep for Weds so the dog will have to be on the best behavior and we have also done somethign a little silly.... when packing the kitchen utensils at the weekend, my sister who was helping us and bringing over her neice must have packed the urn with Clampetts huscats ashes, so tonight, I am going to have to carefully go through all the boxes as diddums here didnt label them (on the thought we would open them all the other end).

Oh well, looking forward to tomorrow, not!

Oh, and

What a superb story. I was prepared to believe it until the last page when you said you saw (the not particularly healthy by the sound of it) Mr Clampett carrying a gas bottle from the BP garage which you say is quite a walk.

I own a motorhome and it was infact one of the Motorhome forums that brought me here. Not wildcamping.co.uk (but I am a member there as well). Gas bottles for a large motorhome are very heavy, its winter and they have been there for ages so they would have used a lot of gas and either have a massive cylinder which you couldnt carry full or he as changed it more than once. Unless Mr Clampett is very strong he would have taken the van assuming the BP garage in question sells LPG replacements (which I dont think it does).

Just for the record most motorhomers are not like Mr and Mrs Clampett by the way and as the average van costs between £40000 and £100000 they are not skint either like your Mr Clampett who I am sure if he was so financially strapped would not be running around in a "posh" motorhome.

Great story though. You are either a profesional script writer or you should be. Cheers

well the clampetts are out of cooking gas, so have dined with us for lunch. Well, they cooked theirs and we cooked ours. House stinks of haddock which is probbaly better than eau de clampett. They had the fish with mash and mint sauce. The mint Mrs C said "I hope you didnt mind me picking the mint growing by the caravan" and as I sat there watching them pour homemade mint sauce (which Mr C kept complimenting Mrs C on) on their mash, something dawned on me and I nearly choked on my stir fry when I realised that the mint bush is where the puppy cocks its leg up. I didnt say a word but Mrs J pi55sed herself laughing when I told her after.

<SNIP - with regret of this marvellous material>

Seriously, this would make a great TV show.

You should turn this into a script, 2. 1 hour episodes for BBC3.

It would be a scream.

You are my favourite poster ever in MSE.
