We live in strange times

Many years ago Bernard Levin opined that ballet was the most ridiculous human activity ever devised, with the possible exception of stamp collecting, but my beloved Borough decided to offer up a still stranger source of diversion - an open day at the Croydon Crematorium. Yes, really. And to think that I missed it. I wonder how they coped with all the whey-faced goths?

23/6/6

It looks to me as though this lot used the open day to case the joint..... After all, if honour among thieves truly exists, I find it hard to imagine that there is anyone who while attending a funeral would be sizing up the the crematorium roof for lead to steal.

It's obviously a burning issue!

The less I know about what happens once they close those curtains at the crem, the better. You can sometimes have too much information.

Groan....

I just hope they weren't holding any cremations that day.
