Oh lordy!! Rednecks in the house. Great post Teeg… tee hee and fancy Allan coming home from Barry’s funeral where a tow truck carried the coffin!
I must admit, we loved watching the Beverley Hillbillies here when we were kids. It conveniently was on as we walked through the door home from school. I never really thought about the origin of the term “Redneck” so you have certainly shed some light there. As for the term sheila and it’s origins… hard to find and I’m sure Allan is still looking for you.

Ok, I stand corrected!

Where I come from the term “Redneck” has far different connotations…

Having said that, at the funeral I went to today a tow truck led the procession and carried the coffin… does that qualify?

Actually the hearse followed the truck, and local radio stations were inundated with calls saying that a hearse had broken down and that the tow truck was actually carrying the coffin.

It was my mate Barry’s funeral, and his dying wish was that people celebrated his life, not mourn his death.

After a life on the road it somehow seemed quite fitting, along with music by Rhett Atkins and Slim Dusty.

Somehow Teeg, after reading this I can’t imagine a more “Redneck” situation, and I think that Barry would have been tickled pink with the situation, and the stir it caused…

Thanks Teeg, you’re a Bonza Sheila alright mate!
