Graveyards straight out of a horror film
WHO the hell is responsible for the ridiculous 'staked graves' monstrosity in our cemeteries?
I come back from a short break in Devon – and Worksop's graveyards look like World War II battlefields.
Do the nannying idiots who do this have any idea how distressing this must be to bereaved people?
Are those Dracula-style stakes really the best way of coping with it?
I visited quite a few churchyards down in Devon and Cornwall last week, and nowhere did I see anything like this.
Still, so long as the Potter Street pen-pushers are covered against any 'compo claims', they couldn't give a hoot.
And how come "80 per cent of new headstones" were discovered to be unsafe?
Aren't stonemasons supposed to follow rules and directions laid down by the council?
So the council are having to 'stake out' whole rows of headstones... because their own advice is faulty!
Only in Bassetlaw, eh?
