When scattering, please scatter away from children, animals and fools
I'm standing on the top of a hill at a local beauty spot, on a fireroad, chatting to one of the forest rangers. Then he notices some ashes on the ground and points them out.

"Oh yes", said me, poking it with my boot. "Doesn't look like there's been a fire though, the ground's not charred?"

"No Alex, Ashes, from a cremation."

"Fuck."

I'd just kicked away at someone's dear departed. My next thought? "Arse, I've got dead person on me again."

"Arse, I've got dead person on me again"
I think we need to start a collection of typically British reactions to strange events like that, and that must come near the top of the list. Well worth a click.

.....did you say 'again'?
Erk.

The click
is entirely for "again"
