The actual answer was 160,000 Colombian Pesos, which corresponded to €38.08 this morning.

Don't tell us you got so much as a sausage for that money.

The nicest place we were in was €40 each a nite. Own chalet maybe 50 yards from the private beach


So ya, about right.


Wine was exorbitant, like €10 a bottle, beer was 12c, cocktails 60c

Green&Red

The level of whinging today was massively down, I take that as a personal insult


I had a nice question ready for tomorrow but I’m just going to have to rethink that

Expect tomorrow’s question to p!ss everyone off

I thought the filter icon was a glass of wine and you’d specifically used it as your criteria.

Not at the prices GnR mentioned - beer and cocktails all the way

Morning all

In one of our first dates I brought Mrs G&R to Glasnevin Cemetery, you can see why she married me

At the start of the twentieth century how many gravediggers were employed at Glasnevin?

Did you ask her, "would you like to lie with my people?"

Kolido

You took her for a date or a shift? I'm not down with these American terms.

Plus I've no idea how big Glasnevin is now let alone 120 years ago.

Don't the friends, family and neighbours dig the grave.


Pity I always thought it was a nice "parting gift".

No - not always - and not the full grave. My grandfather was the caretaker and a gravedigger for the local cemetery when he retired. I think it was the local council that paid him, and the other men (it was almost a voluntary position - they didn't for interview it, he put out the call when a grave had to be dug).
If the family/friends/neighbours wanted to dig, they never did the full grave (it is quite deep), but the gravediggers would assist as they needed to mark out the grave, provide the tools, etc. Given the locality, a lot of the time, he was a friend or neighbour of the deceased, as were the men he called in.
Now he passed away in 2003, things might have changed since then, and things were probably very different at the turn of the 20th century also.

No such thing as a stupid question. Only a cantankerous old man on the other end.
