Yes Bridget, you are quite right I've just searched and found it in Q&A under "Death Obessesed" , worryingly, only late last month. Which probably accounts for my comment "for some strange reason". I remember it as an old Morecambe and Wise joke and it must have been whizzing round my head since you reminded me of it. Perhaps I can lay it to rest now, reassured that it has not been forgotten by the world!
