OK, Lets get away from all the doom and gloom about blue lights, green uniforms, etc. I'm going to try and lighten things up a bit.
I was recently called to a Cardiac Arrest where unfortunately the patient didn't make it. With my car, an FRV and A&E Ambulance outside the address, it was bound to attract some attention, especially with it being a warm sunny day and people were already in their gardens. As each vehicle left, a young lady in a neighboring house stood at her garden gate waving everyone off, which apparently is something she often does. The arrival & departure of the police caused more waving, as did the arrival of the undertakers van.
Seeing the girl waving, the undertakers van driver assumed that it was the address they were looking for and pulled up outside. They then unloaded the coffin from the van and followed the girl up the path and into the house. I can't begin to imagine the surprise and shock of her parents when two somber looking men walked into their living room carrying a coffin! Neither can I imagine the embarrassment of the two guys who very quickly realised they were in the wrong house and full of apologies had to beat a dignified retreat, make the short journey back to their van, reverse up a few yards, & repeat the manoeuvre at the correct address.
Note To Boss: Fit a Sat Nav to the van!!!

Thanks for that Firestreak! A bit of much needed humour! Although very sad to hear about the circumstances in which the undertakers van was needed in the First Place. If anybody else has any other experiences they would like to share, make sure you post them!!!!
