There has been so much going on this week that I didn't post about this earlier. When I went to register my Dad's death the doctor who recorded his death had had to formally state that he wasn't pregnant at the time of death.
My dad would have laughed but really!!! If a doctor has already confirmed that someone is an 86 year old man do they really need to also formally declare that he was not pregnant at the time of death.
I snorted as I read it in the Registry Office and the Registrar immediately asked if I had spotted an error. When I told her what the problem was she rolled her eyes and snorted. We then had a nice bonding moment about mad bureaucracy. I think she was a secret TERF.
I had everything prepared to register the death but I still got caught out as I supposed to know if his metal hip replacement was for a right or left hip! He had it done nearly 30 years ago. How the hell was I meant to know that was important amongst all the other death admin.
