When I worked as the UCL students' union printer, I used to have to take the post to the post room last thing sometimes. In those days, the body was in a glass box in the corner of two dark corridors and it would just catch your eye as you passed it in the shadows - seriously creepy. Apparently they used to wheel it out and put it at the head of the table for formal dinners - ewww!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
