One of my Favourite Tales is of the Yorkshire Farmer who needed to arrange a Newspaper Obituary following his Wife’s Death.
He went into the reception of His Local Newspaper.
The conversation went something like this:
“How can I help you Sir?”
“The Wife’s died and i need to put it in the paper but I don’t want you taking advantage and giving me something that’s expensive”.
“Well perhaps you would like to look at our Book for Ideas?”.
“Aye that seems a good Idea but remember I don’t want to spend a lot”.
“This may suit you, can you see? It says “A dear Wife and Mother Rose, gone but never forgotten”.
“I like it and the price too. I will take it”
“Well with this item you do have four more words if that helps”.
“Right, well if I am paying for them I want them but what can I say?”
“What about “Loved by us all?”
“No, I want it to count so I get value for money. I know, put “and Tractor for sale”.
They are a Canny lot those Yorkies.
