I couldn’t believe the story a friend forward to me today. It was the sad story of a poor woman who asked crematorium officials for an extra ten minutes to say goodbye to her five week old child that was being cremated. She sat weeping by the coffin for an extra ten minutes telling her baby how much they all loved him and not to be scared. She was then fined £8.60 a minute for the privilege a total of £86 the council has now refunded the charge; because of "extenuating circumstances" is it just me who found this story unbelievable. I understand that time tables have to be kept to but surely no one could begrudge this mother an extra ten minutes with her dead child. I couldn’t for a second imagine a grieving family fining the undertakers if they were ten minutes late for the funeral. What do you think?

Unbelievable, she must have been beside herself, an unimaginable situation, very thoughtless actions to fine her.

Hi all i would just like to ask all you tolunas how many points you have in your account at the moment,i currently have 43,950 points and i am waiting for a few points from surveys and of course the usual points from opinions that i have done will be added in a week of so,then i shall redeem them for a voucher,so how many have you got at the moment?

I have had 2 hmv vouchers and am haf way to my third, get fed up of wasting sometimes up to 5 minutes on a survey before being told I don't fit the target group.

looking at clivers topic on hotpoint made me think about other companies with consistently bad service records. For me it was the AA insurance company who took ages to settle my claim for water damage following a hole in my roof only to ignore the quotes they'd asked me to get from repuable workmen and employ bodgit builders to do the work on the cheap. Boo.

Yes! all the time, it seems as the staf nowdays think they are doing us a favor.
