Frank - despite our disagreements - this has been an interesting (and successful) poll/topic.
It's good to let off steam sometimes.

To tell you the truth - I'm between motorhomes at the moment and I'm finding it really frustrating with all that sunshine out there. Hopefully I'll be back on the road come Spring and in a much better mood.

The grass is not, in fact, always greener on the other side of the fence. Fences have nothing to do with it. The grass is greenest where it is watered. When crossing over fences, carry water with you and tend the grass wherever you may be.

"I think we are being tolerant enough; there was even one for a funeral!"

I hope for the family's sake the ashes made it to orbit.

It reminds me a bit of scattering my mother's ashes at a meaningful place in the New Forest. I asked permission, only to be told "I recommend you don't ask us, but just do it".

I wonder what they do. Some might not take kindly to someone's ashes descending on their smalls hanging on the washing line.

"The fireworks recommended are mostly big professional fireworks not available to the public. Some of these would be modified to include the cremation ashes"

I'd like to revise my poll entry. Small fireworks for personal use but ban them all in Essex to stop silly companies mixing gunpowder with cremated ashes. I really wish the contact address were for a Sharon and Dave instead of Fergus.
