This one http://www.rockmemorials.co.uk/contact.htm was featured on the "That's Life" programme years ago. I used to mate with the owners son "Rocky" in the 60's when were children. His grandad died the other year aged 97 and he has something like "Rock of Ages" inscribed on his gravestone!

I remember listening to "Does the Team Think" on Radio 4 a number of years ago, when I was barely out of short trousers; there was a question " Does the team think that parents give enough consideration when naming their children?" The question was asked by a Mr Norman Conquest.
