Or did he actually qualify as a Doctor first?

Was there any point to this post, Less ? Just terminlogy .. which you know, and any excuse to have a go at your current selected target !

As you probaby know, anaesthesists are extremely highly qualified people, and have to have a degree in medicine before spending more time to take additional qualifications.

As oppossed to you?

Having a go at the target you always head for? (I'll take it as a compliment, I refuse to ignore you).

Come on more regular, post more often, make more sense, (no, stay just the way you are), I'm willing to shift my sights, but you ain't reliable.

One Sunday afternoon I was walking around Accrington cemetery with my wife and we sat a while in the Chapel. There is an attendant there who will turn the pages in a book of remembrance for you if you want to see the entry for any person cremated there, he was a friendly chap and showed us "back stage" explaining every step of the procedure and how each coffin is put in a separate oven (I think there are three) which only holds one coffin at a time. The ashes are raked out after about an hour and a half and put in a box with the paper card which was first attached to the coffin and then outside of the oven before the fire was lit which is computer controlled. The boxes were all stacked on a shelf with the relevant card attached awaiting the deceased relative to take them or left for the staff to spread.

When the coffin leaves the Chapel after the service to go backstage I always thought it was on a motorised belt but it is just two chaps pulling it from behind.
I stood behind the lecturn where the Vicar stands and what amused me was the little sticker on it which said "Watch the clock".

The attendant told us he often gives people what they call "The two bob tour" on a Sunday afternoon when they start asking questions about the place.

Gremlin, that is good to know. The more I have thought about it, the more I think it was in a crem somewhere down south.....it was in a televised series a couple of years ago.

I have always been a bit curious about such things, and at one time I did consider working for an undertaker.
