But she cannot stop!
She has been doing that job for years!
Who else can do it?
He is retiring.
All his life he has worked there.
Who will replace him?
You hear this all the time,
When long serving people
Stop doing their jobs.
But what you need to remember
Is that they are not irreplaceable,
As the cemetery is full of them,
Full of indispensable people.

It happens all the time. I've been told that my successor doesn't do half the things I did. But the half he doesn't do is filled with things that I didn't. Fine write Andy.
A fine write Gold. Erm, are we a long time dead, as they say? It's called 'our long home' in ye olde language.
See ya at Hastings!
