Re: Delivery cost US east coast to UK (or Malta)

Re: What if.....There's a death at sea

Ann, I've dealt with my fair share of death first hand, be it from natural causes or as a result of violence. A little gallows humour is harmless and fine: we aren't talking about a specific case.

Re: What if.....There's a death at sea
