Toby

I was surprised to hear an ad on the radio today for pre-paid funeral services. That wasn't the surprising part - no, that was that it was an interview with a child - Toby I think his name was. He's the son of the funeral director and he's doing the ad because "by the time you need us you could be dealing with me''. The tag, of course, is that it's a family business. So we know what young Toby answers when he's asked what he's going to be when he grows up - and we can only guess the look on people's face when this youngster cheerily says "I'm going to be an undertaker". It seems a little odd saying that - but people have been expected to go into the family business for years!
