I don't think coffins are burnt in cremations. i think they take the body out and sell the coffin back to the coffin maker. obviously undertakers and coffin makers have some deal going or else there would be as many coffin makers as there are undertakers...discuss.

Why doesn't anyone in Albert Square have a washing machine?

Post by: on February 18, 2005, 07:40:05 pm

This is because going to the laundrette, harks back to some halcyon day when it gave the woman of the house a day off from using the mangle.  Eastenders attempts to recreate some sort of out dated notion of the East End where people still say 'Awright darlin' and eat jellied eels. 


You've got me going now.

Oh yes they are. I have personally witnessed it.


The cremation coffins are different to burial ones, thickness I believe.


Did you know it takes hours rather than minutes to properly incinerate people and that all artifical joints and pacemakers have to be removed first.

It's also not as effective as total burning, as witnessed in the 'wick effect'.  The heat in such instances is around 5,000 c +, in cremation it is merely 3,500 C

I have discussed my funeral with all my friends and family and have told them i don't want any of this family flowers only stuff. I want no expense spared and my friends are under strict instruction not to let anyone into the church if they haven't got me tonnes of flowers. I'm having no tight gits at my funeral.

flowers will only wilt when I have gone. Save your money and spend it on something nice to look at and think of me, or give it to charity, or buy a pint.


Personally I dont think flowers at a funeral are particularly needed.

personal preference isnt it.


depends on your outlook, and how you want people to be. Funerals are a massive financial pressure and I dont wish to be a pressure on anyone in that way.

More questions about EasEnders:


Why are most of the houses "elastic" with bedrooms that spring from nowhere whenever someone wants to move in?


If no one can afford a washing machine, how come so many of them can afford to "buy" the pub, the cafe and the club on such a regular basis?


How do "the stalls" in the market make any money? No one ever puts in a full days work and there are hardly any customers anyway.


Why is Charlie almost the same age as his mother-in-law???

Title: unanswerable questions?
Post by: salsa on February 19, 2005, 10:22:52 am

because you can marry who you like, no matter how old they are ( in answer to the charlie question)


End of the day eastenders is a soap, and things don't add up perfectly, same as they don't in any other soap.


You either take it for what it is, or you just don't watch in my opinon.

Title: unanswerable questions?
Post by: loulou on February 19, 2005, 10:53:49 am

I don't understand the answer to the charlie question.


Like oldspice says how is Charlie almost the age of his mother in law?


Surely by the ages of the slater daughters Charlies wife would be about his age and his mother in law should be about 20 yrs older than him.


Everything adds up perfectly in Emmerdale.

Title: unanswerable questions?
Post by: salsa on February 19, 2005, 11:06:44 am
I am 28, I can marry someone of ANY AGE, therefore the age gap between my husband and my mother can be nothing at all, there isnt a set figure.
Title: unanswerable questions?
Post by: loulou on February 19, 2005, 11:08:35 am
But if Charlies wife was 20 yrs younger than his mother in law Mo then she wouldn't be old enough to have had his 4 daughters.

Post by: goldencup on February 19, 2005, 11:19:05 am
Got you!  OK, so Zoe is 21, that makes Kat around 37, so her mother would have been around 57.  I reckon Charlie is around that age but I wouldn't think his mother-in-law (name escapes me for the moment, oh yes Mo) is 77. But she's meant to be considerably more than 57 I would say.  So yes, you're right.

Thankyou.
Title: unanswerable questions?
Post by: salsa on February 19, 2005, 11:33:10 am

Okay, had a look at the eastenders website.


However, we know that Kat was 13 when she got pregnant, so therefore she would only have been at the most 14 when she had Zoe, so therefore


Zoe = 21


Kat = 35 D.O.B.: 14.01.1970


We don't know anything about Viv, other than she was married to Charlie Slater in 1967. So therefore she must have been at least 18 in 1967 ( it could be 16 by special licence, but im trying to keep this as reasonable as possible). This would mean that


Viv = about 55


Which is reasonable when you remember the history repeating itself storyline when Kat told Zoe that she was her mum. Kat said that her mum (viv) looked after Zoe when she was born because she didn't want the baby to ruin her life like it had her nan's (Mo) Which wouldn't make it impractical that she was 13/14 when she had Viv.


Mo's birthdate is D.O.B.: 18.02.1936


Charlie : D.O.B.: 13.05.1941

So Charlie is only five years older than his mother-in-law. So Mo is coming up to 69 - still a bit young in my book.

In real life Laila Morse (Mo) is actually younger than Derek Martin (Charlie)! In the Pat and Mo special last year, they tried to explain this a bit by revealing Viv wasn't Pat's niece after all, but Mo already had her when she married Pat's brother Jimmy (the real father being 'some bloke' she met on the Waltzers as a teenager.) So here's another unanswerable question - why wasn't Viv brought up as Mo's sister, as Zoe was alongside mother Kat two generations later?

Er... I imagine Little Mo's baby isn't being brought up as her sister because a) she's over 30, not a teenager and b) her mother has been dead for six years - that might tip Freddie off in the future!

If a person talks about soaps all the time they probably don't have much of a life. The only person i know who talks about the soaps is my neighbour. she is 86 and doesn't go out much so she has an excuse but i am more likely to talk about what i have been doing or about to do and family stuff.

I think you will find its the concentrate. Have you ever made half a pint of sauce and then 'reduced' it to instensify the flavour? I think that's what they mean.
