[ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 1/12/07 7:02am In reply to: albert bishop 's message, "Weighty problem" on 29/11/07 7:56pm Albert this is a true story. When i was a gravedigger the money was very poor and you relied on tips. One of our famous sayings was "Mingle with the Mourners" in the hope you got a tip from someone,others left it to the undertaker. One undertaker paid you by weight,deadweight.Under 14 stone was a £1 tip and anything over was £2. So for me this is "Deadweight".
