    Funerals are depressing affairs, but the only certainty in life is death and the taxman.

    I think that the funeral of someone who dies aged 70+ is something that shouldn't be miserable - our allotted span is "threescore and ten" - who would want to live to be 200 years old?? It should be a celebration of their life, the good things they did, and at actors' funerals, and in Italy, the congregation applauds. I approve!

    I hope there will be Scottish Country Dancing at mine - if they can muster a set of eight who are fit enough, that is!!!

    I'm sure any wish of yours expressed here is going to to be seriously looked into, however not just yet if that's OK with you
