Wayne's grandad wanted a full Viking burial.
After the cancer had levelled him, his lawyer contacted Wayne to say that if the Viking burial didn't take place then he wouldn't receive any inheritance.
Which didn't seem very lawyerly.
Wayne arranged for a Viking shield, a raft and a horned helmet with the undertaker. He did it at Coate Water on the outskirts of Swindon.
And, happily, the inheritance was more than enough to pay the “improper disposal of a body” fine. More than enough. He bought a Citreon Picasso. Only 2 years old, and a measly 5000 miles on the clock.
Thanks grandad.
