As I said at the time there would still be matter in and on those bones.

Which I accepted.

Which I accepted.

And with that is the reason that the fox would be intersted in a 150 year old grave.

When I googled foxes eating bones I was sort of hoping for something else

Yes, you said that previously. Now, why would a fox be interested in a 150 year old grave when presumably there are younger graves there...

The fox would make a decision about which grave to open whereas a rabbit would just dig a burrow where it thought was suitable...

So you're suggesting that the fox would have checked the date on the tombstone, hence it must be a rabbit because they can't read?

Nope, I'm suggesting that it could've smelled something more appetising than a 150 year old corpse.

I'm deliberately leaving out the fact that Minestrone added his own embellishments to the story.

Obviously you have not walked through that grave yard like I have on many occasions.

You see, that was your problem all along, trying to pick a fight with someone who knew what he was talking about.

So are you definitively saying there are no corpses in that graveyard younger than 150 years old?

Or is that one of your "made up" stories, you know, like the one about the fox being seen "having a good old chew" on a human spine that had previously been buried for the past 150 years?

Hey Minestrone...

Located between Pilrig Street and Broughton Road in NE Edinburgh, 1¼ miles (2 km) northeast of the city centre, Rosebank Cemetery was opened 1846 by the Edinburgh and Leith Cemetery Company. The cemetery includes a mass grave, marked by a Celtic cross, of 215 men of the Royal Scots who came from Edinburgh and Leith and who were killed in the Gretna Rail Disaster of 1915. The cemetery also contains the memorials of many Leith ship-owners and merchants, and of two servants of Queen Victoria. There is also a small Moslem section.

Like a freshly embalmed corpse?

Look, I'm very flattered that you have all made this the most popular thread of the past few weeks but would you mind awfully taking your petty, banal childish bickerings elsewhere please and get back on topic. Either that or sod off back to Mumsnet or whatever dweeby Dr Who / Star Trek forum you all belong to.
