URPRISING HONESTY AT FUNERAL . Family and friends at the funeral of George Ramsbottom in Honley, West Yorkshire, were stunned when his brother, Frank, stood up in the church and told everyone that his brother would not be missed. Describing his brother as the meanest man he had ever met, he went on to list all the people who would be glad to know that George had died, and gave the reasons why. He claimed that George was a liar, a cheat, a womaniser and a drunk."He owed money to half the people in the village; he had ruined a number of marriages; and he was often incredibly rude for no good reason. No one will be sad that he has done." said Frank Ramsbottom. Mr Ramsbottom's unexpected speech was followed by complete silence. Eventually, Margaret Dudley, the minister in charge of the service, stood to say, "Let us give thanks for George's life with our final song."She then sang on her own while everyone else stood in silence. The service ended shortly afterwards.
