    Oooops. Too many deep fried Mars Bars?

    https://uk.news.yahoo.com/scottish-s...170358096.html

    Stone me that's a coffin and a half.

    He'll have had his tea.

    For dear old Freako, this relates to difficulties in fitting giant economy sized coffins for the Scottish obese into crematorium ovens.

    It's another first world problem.

    Scotland’s obesity problem is now causing issues for crematoriums and graveyards north of the border.

    While there are a few extra large ovens in operation, family members have chosen to bury their loved ones rather than travel long distances to an appropriate crematorium, reports the Sunday Times.

    As shown above - such coffins cannot be carried to graveside but must be winched into place.

    This not that rare an occasion with 27.1% of all Scottish adults declared obese.

    A National Association of Funeral Directors spokesperson said: ‘They are all finding that they need to order increasing numbers of larger coffins each year as the number of obese people passing away continues to increase.’

    As the BBC reported - nearly £4.6 billion of Scottish government is spent each year tackling obesity with nearly two thirds of the adults overweight.

    Those in England better not feel too superior - 62% of English adults are declared overweight.

    We may just have a weight problem in the UK.

    I cannot buy size 11-14 socks in M&S in Wales. They have to order them in. As the Welsh are so short.

      Jesus wept, what did they do for pall bearers? A rugby team and six lengths of scaffolding bar?

          Why don't they just send the body to a Slaughter house first and then put the parts in an oven?

          Simple problems need simple thinking.

              the daughter is a paramedic. Her biggest complaint is that the 'pink puffers' feel unwell, then go upstairs to lie down.
              she has to carry them down again.
