My mother is in an old people's home in Kent. She was telling me about how they have occasional days out in a minibus. Rather unusually, the one they use is sponsored by the local undertaker. I can't help thinking this is a tactless choice for OAPs. Does it have a cheery black coffin logo with 'transporting you to the afterlife' or 'enjoy the trip of a lifetime' as a slogan? Do they go on themed visits: 'Sarcophagi of Sandwich', or 'Folkstone and its Funeral Parlours'? More worryingly, would this minibus have seatbelts and be properly maintained to check the brakes work - a particular concern if business isn't flourishing (giving a different meaning to the phrase 'credit crunch')? Does the driver wear a hoodie and have a scythe tucked under the driver's seat?
Don't go! Dust off your Freedom Passes and get the bus!
"This trip to Dover Castle wasn't quite what I was expecting, can I have a refund please?"
