Coffins 'R' Us


God has turned the thermostat up in the last couple of weeks which means that a few more old 'uns than normal are dropping off their perches. Explains the bulk delivery to a local undertakers of new shiny boxes which I witnessed whilst standing outside a bar, enjoying a decent glass of Gavi di Gavi. I counted more than twenty, all in that sleek wood that looks more plastic than plastic. One size seems to fit all too, as most old Italians are stereotypically short arsed.

Did you pop in with a deposit? Nothing like being prepared Ron.

Why is there no chewing gum on the pavement? Haven't they heard of 'progress' in your town?

Did they also deliver the big rolls of coffin liner that's delightfully known as 'CremFilm? Or 'CremiFilmi' in your neck of the woods I suppose.
