Took my niece and daughter to Spain a few years back. While there, I asked my niece, who is kinda quiet, what she liked most so far. She said. "I'm not afraid of being shot."

The Pure Cremation TV advert suggests the first thing anyone does when coming home after attending a cremation is ……. er ……. take a bath!
