Albert Sidebottom rings the Manager of the Co-op Funeral Parlour in Barnsley and says :-
" I want a headstone putting on our lass's grave, it's plot 1246 in Dodworth Cemetry. Ah dunt want owt fancy, just plain Yorkstone wi' a simple message saying " She Were Thine "
The Manager says " Certainly Mr. Sidebottom, I'll order it straight away and it will be done by next weekend "
The following weekend, Albert goes to the cemetery, looks at the headstone and it says " She Were Thin".
He gets on the phone to the Manager and says " Tha's made a reyt bollocks o' this headstone - tha's missed a fuckin' 'e' off !
The Manager says " Oh, I do apologise Mr. Sidebottom, I'll have it rectified straight away"
The following weekend, Albert goes to cemetery and reads the inscription which now says " Ee, She Were Thin"
You see , an 'e' can make a difference after all !
