Rewards for some

I once had a consignment of ‘tombstones’ to import.

Now these caused trouble on many levels – was there a religious element, had someone died?

Made of marble, big and heavy but they were with a courier company?  Something did not add up.

A lot of phone calls and emails later I had some answers.

They were being imported for a party – in fact a rewards ceremony. Further investigation revealed that these tombstones were not made of marble but of plastic and were only 6cms tall. The names on the tombstones were actually the names of winners of a scheme intended to celebrate exceptional employees.
