I have some plastic tubes from till rolls and some discarded metal "hairs" (long thin narrow strips) from the road sweeper vehicle to make loads with.

Coroners sometimes can take a line which is helpful to the family of the victim.  The first one I had to deal with, a night of tragi-comedy in many respects, involved someone walking in front of a train in the wee small hours and of course with the train travelling at 75moh the result was a foregone conclusion.  The Inquest determined that he had become confused and gone out for a walk (in the middle of the night and on a poorly defined footpath across several fields) and notwithstanding his previous interface with an 8 wheeler HGV in the middle of Frome or immersion in the lake at Longleat, plus seemingly taking too many pills on one occasion, and a history of in-patient stays at Shepton Mallet mental hospital, the verdict was very definitely not Suicide.  

 

I have no concerns at all with such a verdict being brought in for the sake of his loved ones, even if some evidence suggested a more likely reason for his demise.

 

Edit to correct a trypo

In the suicide I had in front of my train at Streatham Common witnesses said he saw the train approach, stood up and ran and dived.

The one I had to attend on Teignmouth sea wall, the coroner said that she had confused the HST external door handle/lever with the oval shaped toilet door handle.

Opened the mail without checking the addressee today. One card was for my Mum containing a ROUND BWOODY ROBIN from my cousin.

Next time I will check carefully and if the envelope feels too fat it's not getting opened. 3 in 1 year so far. Too much.

EDITED,

Incidentally if anyone would like to read a round robin or 3 that will mean absolutely nothing to you, I can mail them on.

Yes ANOTHER Christmas card with a ROUND ROBIN letter. The second RR of the year.

From someone I worked with for a couple of years but of whom I know nothing and of family I know less.

Except of course I now know 3 A4 pages of this years various holidays, celebrations, grandkids being welcomed into the World and general chit chat. 3 A4 pages! I ask you.

I seriously need one of those notices you put by the door.

I never saw the aforesaid painting on the tv prog but surely trade description act should be involved. I never heard it referred to as the "Madonna with the bordering on the average to medium sized boobies."
