Marka Ragnos Posted July 24, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 24, 2023 Admittedly morbid question, but do any of you older locals remember seeing the dead with paper ribbons or many-coloured decorations around their bodies in caskets? I heard about this practice in the shires long ago (1900-1920s), but wondered whether it was idiosyncratic or a tradition? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAuthority Posted July 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 26, 2023 Apologies if already discussed an I've missed it, but what happened to the "latest posts" tab on the right of the screen? It's say "popular now" and only shows 2 posts. Was it a software upgrade or an option that was changed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marka Ragnos Posted July 28, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted July 28, 2023 Today my wife and her neighbour friend said they saw a man with a shopping cart full of bags of ashes rolling away down towards a walking path. The thing is, they saw it right next to a crematorium. WTF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xann Posted July 28, 2023 Share Posted July 28, 2023 Quote Security guards detained a suspect who managed to slip through a narrow gap in a glass-fronted dock at Nottingham Magistrates' Court. The defendant kept poking his head through the space when he appeared in courtroom two earlier this month. He repeated this behaviour before slipping his shoulders through and his head, before falling through the gap, leaving his crutches behind. The man, who has one leg, hopped to the door before he was detained by security. The court was evacuated, with the judge and legal advisor disappearing into a room off the judge's bench. A spokesperson for His Majesty’s Court and Tribunals Service confirmed the incident, saying: “The individual was quickly detained after an attempt to escape, thanks to court security staff, and did not leave the courtroom at any stage.” The glass panel of the dock was identified as being slightly wider than usual and has been swiftly fixed. https://www.nottinghampost.com/news/nottingham-news/security-guards-stop-escape-bid-8637656 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
