Another nail in the coffin of UK coffin-nail-makers jobs

"Well, it had to happen some time"

Mr Claude Git, 78, has been a coffin maker in the pretty little Wiltshire town of Bitter-on-the-Whole (close to Seething) since being de-mobbed in 1946.

Claude says "we haven't used actual nails in coffins in my entire life time - we generally use brass No.8 wood screws. Sometimes we use copper staples in the cardboard caskets for the more eco-friendly corpses, but nails, no, never".

As if the coffin nail makers didn't have it hard enough, demand for coffin nails has all be evaporated owing to people not dying frequently enough, these days.

It's simply getting rid of the dead wood.

I'll see myself out.
