Last year I had drink with a few of Britain's remaining WW1 Vets. Some one in the our group foolish asked what they thought of the campaign for the last one Vet to have a State funeral when they died. Well one of the old boys piped up and said when I go I want to be cremated and ashes scattered on a well known actress Cornflakes so at least could say I have been through her at least once. Well the laughter when on for ages, which goes to show that you never grow up, but just get older
