Am I missing something? The service is down south, near Kent/Croydon way... How is a Leeds based florist going to get the flowers or agree to right down there, would probably be triple the charge of the wreath then you risk the wreath arriving in a mess. Surely we need a local florist to where the service is being held???
No2 is in Doncaster?

Good thinking, Ristac! Turns out you were right. Interflora don't do bespoke items like this, and it's logical when you think about it. I guess most of us have never had to think about it before. Anyway, we've now sourced a florist dahn saff that delivers to Orpington, so Marcos is on the case. :D
 
I am gong to get in trouble here and no offence intended.
Boggers was one of us the mother of a mate of a wallie isnt.
There is too much maudling these days, yes its sad but didnt need bringing up here.

What has footy allegiances got to do with anything you mug when death has no equal, I haven't got a ****ing clue what their team is but it doesn't matter and you wouldn't have said that about my dad, so try putting your brain in gear before your tongue. <doh> :emoticon-0181-fubar

Of course I wouldnt have said that about your dad because you are known to us and a mate of many. But your mate or his mother are not. Its apparent your dad dying has hit you very hard and I hope you are getting some grief counsellling to help you work through it.

People die every second luckily those close to us die comparitively rarely and it is right we mourn those we know and care about.

I don't need any counselling Steve as I'm ok with dealing with and getting on with things, which is what my dad would've wanted and be proud about.

I appreciated you putting the thread up last January so thanks mate as it meant a lot to me after you belled me earlier that day, I meant the previous comment as a general point that everyone is equal in death whether you know them or not and of course it's a sad fact of life that plenty of people die everyday.

Thanks for your concern but really I'm ok as keeping busy was a big help with the initial grief as it really does help to take your mind of things to a degree, something which my dad always said about others that the best thing is to try to keep busy and try your best to move on. <ok>

It was around this time two years ago that Boggers had his funeral.

Is anyone still in touch with Janet, his wife?

Think we should raise our glasses to the fella.

Gone but not forgotten!
Oddly enough, I was trying to tidy up my old emails the other day & came across an email exchange with Janet about me photographing his 'brick'. Spooky coincidence, eh?
