Glad to have the warning on the grave digging. I was planning to try that on the weekend but now I think maybe I will go hiking instead. ( killing myself laughing…pun intended)

  Isn’t that a wonderful sign Sue. It was actually on a grave yard wall so I can only assume that there really had been some DIY grave digging!

The grave digging sign is something else! As you say, the Irish do innocent merriment well

I love the photos with the wonderful unintentional humour. You didnt include the sign we saw on Cobh Station platform saying ‘Exhibition Behind You’ -perhaps you were standing behind me!

  I saw the sign but neglected to take the picture. Also ‘Beware Fast Trains Approaching’ just 20 metres before the buffers!

I couldn’t resist going on the Cork County site and looking up grave diggers, Andrew. There is a detailed three page application want-to-be grave diggers have to fill out. Among the things I notes were that you were not to work “lone,” which I understood. Ghosts can be scary. Also you needed “ear defenders” and appropriate “immunizations.” I think the ear defenders should be big burly guys. –Curt

  I love all the stuff on the site about H&S. DIY grave diggers need to take note!

    I grew up next to an old graveyard, Andrew. Old graves never bothered me as a kid, at least during the day. I gave wide berth to fresh graves, however. 🙂 –Curt
