A woman asked the council for a new council house when she learned somebody had previous died in hers.
1 I've seen little houses you build yourself in a day. Everybody who wants a new house should build their own. Pay back the cost on a mortgage.
2 What of the people who cannot live where somebody has died? Does that mean you cannot visit a grave? or be a caretaker of a graveyard? That does limit where you live and work.
I worried whether the previous owner of my house, an old lady, had died in it. My neighbour, who is a nurse, laughed. She said, 'What about hospitals!'
People have died or are buried in every church, hospital, under roads, the gates to most cities, on many big construction sites, the Tay bridge, Kings Cross, Clapham Junction, most London underground stations, the Channel tunnel, under car parks, in Hastings, on many beaches, most fields and villages in Belgium, Scotland and Wales, Ireland, all medieval castles, Victorian and Edwardian houses, the whole of the East End of London which was bombed in the war, large areas of France such as Normandy. Nobody would ever inherit anything. No caretaker could live in and guard the premises marked by a blue plaque as a home of the famous. And don't get in an ambulance.
