Perrin, Stonehouse and now another, suspicously.

I was at school with a guy called Mark Purdy. He was always a fantasist. We shared a flat in London for a couple of years and he ended up fleeing the country with the plod on his tail and spent years reinventing himself.

Just got a call from a mate saying that he had taken his own life off a beach near Bridport, He had left his clothes on the beach and vanished. I gather it is near the same beach where Reggie Perrin did the same thing

Memorial service, April 5th.

Never been to a memorial service for someone who has faked their own death 

Instruction is to bring bird food

Without being morbid but have they even found a body ..surely you can't have a memorial service until you know they are deaded

All sounds very sad [/serious]

Still everyone will be on tenterhooks just in case the door springs open and he appears dressed like Jeremy Beadle shouting "Surprise!"

Of course there's the moral quandary of would you want that to happen or he really be dead? 


No clever answers here (no change then)

Mother, sister and grieving "widow" need "closure"

Mother, sister and grieving "widow" need "closure" 

Understandable but sadly I don't think they'll get it

[Nick]

So far, everyone else who I know is going is convinced he has done a runner 

[Miss Demeanour]

Mother, sister and grieving "widow" need "closure" 

Or an insurance payout ? 

[Nick]

I think they have to wait for 6 years 

[Miss Demeanour]

Don't see how they can get closure by  getting a few people together, saying a few words and feeding the pigeons .

Closure will either only be the finding of the body ...dead or alive ( and living with his mistress in Panama) - or until 6 or 7 years down the line when the legal beagles formally pronounce him as no longer in existence.

The plan is to feed ducks 

[Miss Demeanour]

As the only alternative to seeing in person something that has quacked???
