A customer was looking for a card...

...to give to a lady who had lost her husband in a plane crash. She was not sure where the plane had crashed and did not want to cause offence or bad memories.

"How about this card?"

"Oh no, its got the sea in it, the plane may have come down in the sea, that won't do."

"What about this one?"

"Where is that? Italy? I think the plane crashed near there, may have been the alps, or some land somewhere"

"This is a nice one"

"No, that won't do, its got a tree in it, the plane may have crashed in a forest..."

And so on.

Finally convinced her to buy one of Dartmoor. I am fairly sure there have not been any air disasters near Chagford recently.
