oh and my favourite drinking tale.......My grandad was cremated and his ashes scattered with a memorial left in a graveyard near Ince.
About 7 or 8 years back my mum took us to see his grave for the first time. I said that I knew where it was and lead her there... She was perplexed, how could I know where it was?
I told her of a vague childhood memory where I was taken with my sister to the grave by someone. I don't know who it was who took us and we've asked lots of people in the family, none have taken us before.
But from the memorial (I remember saying 'Grandad's not buried there is he?' the first time I apparently visited) I went on to lead my mum to the main entrance and out.
She was suitably freaked out!
