That is just theft! I will have to involve the authorities and rescue the donkey, it needs to be reunited with its leg!I think Patterdale wheeled the donkey to mumsnet, to start a AIBU in my choice of wheels thread.
I told you earlier, weren't you listenting?

Life is toooo short to be a stuffed shirt...The day i act my age is the day it's time to nail the lid on.
See - this thread is still educational!They screw them on, not nail them on
I know because I used to to it. Funerals in general that is, not just screw the lids on

Now that is an interesting Job..Must be dead quiet though..
Sorry martlin, you should have been a bhs gold member & you could have got free legal advice & a contract. No sympathy here. And get back & teeth checked on its return, always good advice.
Ah, if I had a pound for every time I had heard that one!

Possibly. But I always think the "if I don't someone else will" arguement is a bit thin.
If there's no market, the trade dies. Every time someone gives money to a rogue dealer they're encouraging him to trade. Awful for the current stock, obviously, but it may be better in the long run if they just can't sell their poorly raised foals.
Believe me, I'm trying to convince myself as much as anyone. I'm practically walking distance from the foal in the ad, it's taking self control not to pick up the phone.
I worked in a funeral director's too, for about 5 years. Yep it is interesting, and you hear all the jokes, dead boring, bored stiff etc etc.
No seriously what an interesting career...How do you go about getting into such a profession?.I have been to ALOT of family funerals (9) in the last 3 years and the people all are so respectful and nothing was too much trouble..but do you have to be a serious sort of person to do the job..You are handling someones loved one..
Found my job through the job centre.
How on earth do you deal with all that grief..surrounded by people that are heart broken.
Have only read a few of the posts but just to let you know the little grey mule is sold, i rang him up yesterday and wanted to go up today but he's gone Hopefully a nice happy home
Most deaths are a peaceful natural end to a long life. They're only sad to those who loved the person. The trick in working with grief is to empathise and understand but remember it's their grief, not yours. You can help, by offering practical help at a time when most people just don't know what to do.
It's a positive role, and you're helping people, so not sad at all.
Of course there are tragic deaths of the very young and they do affect everyone who works in the business. Mercifully they're uncommon.
Hey, perhaps we can set up our own funeral business Fiona, think we would be pretty good at it!
I have since contacted the current owner and arranged a viewing, however apparently there are a couple of viewings inbetween now and my viewing so time will tell.
