Smokeyjoe34 gives us a story from the past in U.K.
This is a true story. Showing the gullibility and stupidity of some people.
In the U.K. back in 1960 a soapie called Coronation Street started on the television, a mythical street in the city of Manchester, it’s still going by the way.
In this show there where 3 old ladies who used to gas bag (gossip as to who was doing what to who, how and when) in the local pub.
Also, before we left England to come to Australia my father was an funeral director, we lived in a town called Warrington which was approximately half way between Liverpool and Manchester.
Occasionally he would have to perform a burial at the Manchester Cemetery.
Well to get to the point of this tale, in 1964 one of the old ladies, Martha Longhurst played by actress Lynne Carol, wanted to leave to show permanently, so it was decided to kill her off by having her have a heart attack.
The show’s producer decided to have a fake funeral at the Manchester Cemetery, (the cemetery wasn’t going to be featured by the way, everything being set up in the studio), well my father needed to arrange the paperwork for a burial and drove to the Cemetery on the day, only to be stopped by a local Mr. Plod (policeman) saying that the main cemetery entrance on the road ahead was blocked by ‘people wanting to see Martha’s cortège’.
