"South Tyneside Council says all memorials have to be checked under current health and safety rules." these are only gov guidelines, its the gov scared of being taken to court. i have seen stones as little as a foot high been taken down. some large ones looked like they have been pushed over and have snapped. people pay alot of money for these headstones and my veiw is that it is desicration of a family grave. then when the stones are down the families are having to pay £150 upwards to reset them. i think there has only been one death in the whole country. what next.......cut all the trees down, knock all walls down so children cant climb anymore. there is a risk in all that we do in life. anyway the kids should not be hanging off headstones in the first place its their own faul;t if they get hurt.

North Westside Council have announced that council tax payers will have to foot the bill for taller fences around all graveyards - when asked why, a local spokespixie said "It's because people are dying to get in!"






How funny was that man :yltype:
