Laughter - the best medicine

I went to buy a car the other day. Popped into my local show room and saw one I really liked. I called the salesperson over and we got into negotiations on the price. He offered a 1% discount. I said "That's not very much.The ad on the telly said there's a Mini Sale on" "Ah" he said. "When we said its a "mini sale".............
 
Wasn't sure if this should be a random irritation but I laughed when my wife told me and she was laughing when on the phone to the company involved...so......

Father in Law passed away recently. His wishes were that no unnecessary money would be wasted on the funeral...no fancy casket, no service, no mourners...nothing.....an unattended cremation, squeezed in between other cremations as space allowed.

We found a firm (recommended by another relative who had used them previously) and got in contact....absolutely no problem following FIL's wishes....a nice round £1000 please. No problem...money paid.

Wife got a call from the firm earlier today....full of condolences etc etc, telling her they were now in possession of the body and that when they collected him, there were some clothes with him (that the wife had left at the hospital for him to be dressed in for the cremation) and asked if we would like Neville dressed in these clothes? Wife answered in the affirmative, as that was what the clothes were for. That's no problem said the funeral firm....that will be another £100 please!!!!!

Wife asked what it would be to post the clothes back to us and not dress him.....that'll be £75 please!!

In the end we just agreed that they would put the clothes in the box with him.

If Ryan Air did funerals eh????
