Yep, just like a bureaucrat to come up with some pedantic crap like this. Watch, the final solution will be to come out with some sort of "building code" and permitting requirement for tombstones.
Funnily enough I was chatting to my old man last night about the vile stone-toppling going on in cemeteries (we like to 'circular rant' at each other sometimes... ) Anyway, we were convinced it was nothing to do with the HSE and more to do with the kind of mealy-mouthed jobsworth local council mediocrities given a small amount of power to abuse as they see fit. The above NFoCF article appears to confirm this. Interesting that Leicester's Welford Rd. Cemetery is mentioned on there, it is (or was) the most fantastic Victorian burial ground that they ravaged with this grave-flattening. I'm pleased it looks like they'll have to put them back but it appeared to my eye that many stones were badly broken in the process. What next? "Oi! tear down that war memorial! it's got a bloody great bronze sword on it! You could 'ave someone's eye out with that!".... Hmmmm... must stop now... starting to rant properly... Cheers, Adam.
