Disgusting the way Benny was treated by TV terminating his contract...never got over it :( RIP mate
@Guvna07 Жыл бұрын
His shows were costing £450.000 to make per episode and his viewing figures were dropping and he wasn’t prepared to change anything so they got rid of him all together. Very sad because his show was his entire life but in the tv industry when you’re hot everyone loves you but it’s short lived. He was left with a fortune of 10 million pounds but it meant nothing to him.

Benny Hills grave was robbed after his burial because the papers reported he was buried with lots of gold. When he was re-buried they placed the heavy stone on top to prevent it happening again. Very sad

I love the idea of the Titanic graves, may I also suggest that if ever you are in Kent, near Rochester, take a trip to a small village called Wouldham and in the church close to the door is Walter Burke - he was a purser during the battle of Trafalgar and is known for holding Nelson during his last moments on board HMS VICTORY to this day the school children of the village lay flowers at his grave on Trafalgar day . Sadly Walters home no longer stands in Wouldham, but it’s certainty a nice place to visit with the river Medway running along at the back of the graveyard

Hi Paul.There is a statue of Edward Smith, Captain of the Titanic in Beacon Park, Lichfield, Staffs. Born in Hanley, Stoke on Trent, there are various stories as to why his memorial stands in Lichfield, 30 miles away from his home town.

Thomas William Jones was a Titanic survivor. Born on Anglesey. He was ordered in to lifeboat number 8 by Captain Smith to row away the ladies in it. One of the passengers was the Countess of Rothes who was very vocal about what he should do. He apparently put her to work in steering the lifeboat. They remained in touch following the disaster. He is buried in Liverpool Anfield cemetery and crematorium. His niece was my grand-aunt Jane. Not a blood relative, just by marriage.

Top video, Paul. One of the last Titanic survivors was Eva Hart who lived in Chadwell Heath in Essex and died in 1996. She was cremated at the South Essex Crematorium, Upminster and her ashes are buried under a tree in nearby St Chad's Park (Chadwell Heath). There is a plaque at the tree with her details on. There is also a pub called The Eva Hart in Chadwell Heath High Road, Romford. These are all very close to each other and would make a great video mate.

Hi Paul. Have you ever thought about trying to get into a crematorium to film behind the scenes? You'd have to do this during office hours normally, and ask the crematoria permission but they usually are eager to facilitate visits to dudpel any myths. It's extremely interesting having done this several times around the West Midlands whilst showing trainee police officers the death process. Maybe your viewers would love to see what goes on? I know you have plenty of funeral director or cemetery staff followers, maybe they could assist you?

Yet more proof God was a genius and in front of the curve. Your ears are perfectly placed and perfectly shaped for the temple tips to keep your glasses in place. (the temples are the long arms on the side of the frame and the temple tips are the 'hooks' that fit over your ears for a snug fit to keep your glasses in place). And your nose is perfectly placed and perfectly shaped to rest your glasses on, at the top of the nose for close vision, and down your nose so you can look over the top of the frames for distant vision. Like I said, genius. Surprised you haven't cottoned on to this marvellous technical innovation. 😉😊
