I hope they had clean t-shirts and jeans on. I was disappointed with a few at a recent funeral who were wearing street gear obviously in need of a wash. Some sort of effort is appreciated by the close relatives. Watching a show like Downton Abbey really brings home how much society was strangled by etiquette in the past. I don't mourn the loss of a lot of it, but rudeness is rudeness. Polite attention to other peoples feelings is a quality that I miss these days.
I was raised to wear a suit and tie at funerals. Nowadays one sees people at funerals dressed for a day at the beach in shorts and thongs. Disrespectful in the extreme.
When attending funerals where I have an inheritance , I always park the ute and U-Haul out of sight and switch my phone onto vibrate. I also have a very tidy pair of Black thongs that I only wear to funerals. I don't worry about being respectful to the dead as the dead know nothing , but I try to be considerate of the family and friends.
I hope you wear shorts over those thongs until you get out of the ute.Quote:

This reminds me of my 4th class teacher going into another one of her regular "Ïdiot Box" tirades. I don't think she liked the TV. :lol2:Quote:
