I think it may have been political humour so not allowed

My dad mostly fixed stuff by using a hammer then a bigger one now they are just the last resort , finesse was not his strong point

I have 2nd child syndrome, my brother got his tools, I had already bought my own. I wanted his yacht but the old bugger sold it when he started running about with the merry widow who didnt do boats.

My brother asked me if I wanted Dad's tools. I was surprised as I thought he'd want some and we'd have half each

Equally my brother was surprised when I said I didn't want either Mum or Dad's ashes.

We had a fly tipping of the old mans ashes on the lowest spring tide of the year, so he would end up where he wanted to be in Coquet Road, the stretch of water between Coquet Island and Hauxley point. Myself, with brother and sister, went out as far as we could, on the rocks, and set him on his way. The merry widow didn't come as she took offence at the fly tipping humour when we were discussing the funeral etc. she never did have much of a sense of humour.

I also think it was too our family orientated for her, as we used to have a holiday home at Hauxley Point built just after the depression by my Grandfather. My granny and my mothers ashes are there too.

I do have my fathers sextant though, so I suppose the tools of his trade as he started out in life as a navigator. Its of little value now but cost him 6 weeks wages when he bought it, and its a nice thing.
