Bereavement-related party faux pasI was in the sixth form. I had got to know a nice chap in the year below me whose father (a GP in his mid-40s at most) had tragically been killed in a cycling accident. It had been front page news, that sort of thing. Cut to a few months later and we're both at a party. It's about 11pm and a couple of sets of parents are starting to appear at the door to drive their offspring home. When the latest chap turns up, I turn to my friend and say,
"Is that your Dad?"
No it wasn't.
