   Bollocks.   
      
   There were stories about strange visits to hospitals in the night to hold   
   hands with incurables and other odd goings on while she was alive.   
      
   Mainly because she kept stroking elderly people who weren't in any danger   
   but looked ill...   
      
   They,  naturally,  went straight to the press when they got out of hospital.   
      
   Never mind 'silly quirks',  she was deeply odd.

   I've seen things you people wouldn't believe.   
   Barbeques on fire by the chalets past the castle headland   
   I watched the gift shops glitter in the darkness off the Newborough gate   
   All these moments will be lost in time,  like icecream on the beach   
   Time for tea.
