God, these headlines just write themselves. Um. But seriously, the Burrouch Council in Redditch is putting together a over a plan to use heat generated by the local crematorium to warm up the Abbey Stadium swimming pool, to save£14,500-a-year. Which somehow doesn’t sit right with everybody.
For instance, Simon Thomas, of Thomas Brothers Funeral Directors, told the Telegraph that he just doesn’t know “how comfortable people would feel about the swimming pool being heated due to the death of a loved one…I’m not comfortable with it at all and I think trying to save money due to the death of someone’s family member or friend is a bit sick.”
But you know what? That’s because Simon Thomas is a funeral director, and probably hasn’t ever had his breaststroke made more comfortable by burning dead folk. I hear it feels wonderful. You go, Redditch Burrouch Council. You go.
