I'm not sure I'd want to spend eternity standing on my feet! A nice recliner maybe or the loo!

There is a grave on the top of Boxhill  a famous landmark in Surrey where an eccentric Victorian  man is buried standing on his head

They probably didn't realize the " This end up sticker had shifted!"

Reminds me of a very old graveyard joke.

The headstone was leaning over at an angle so the family pulled it back with some straining wire.

Next day two people walking past, one said "He always was a posh B'tard, now he's gone and had a telephone installed!"

That joke is © about 1960!!

DavidA:
Well, the surface plate arrived; all 32 Kilo of it.

According to the spec sheet the greatest error is 0.7 Micron.  I make that about 0.039 Thou"

Am I right ? Having a Senior calculating moment.

It's still a whole lot flatter than the cast iron table I was using. I'll relegate that to assembly plate duties.

Dave.
