I am a sixth form teacher, and am a bit puzzled as to why salaries are so high. Whilst I agree that the work loads can be high, my bemusement is thus.
My contender explanations are as follow.
But, is there something that I am missing? --Leon (talk) 13:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)

crematoriums isle of sheppey
[edit]Hi all, I am a support worker with Grace Eyre in Sussex. My current task is to locate the ashes of the daughter of a young lady whom I work with. I cannot find the names or the phone numbers for the local crematoriums. Are you able to help? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.66.129.148 (talk) 15:42, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- Are you looking for ALL crematoriums in Sussex? Do you want to narrow it down to, say, Brighton? Then, you would have The Downs and Woodvale. 209.149.113.5 (talk) 15:58, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- I think he's look for a list of crematoria on the Isle of Sheppey, which is in Kent. 81.187.116.230 (talk) 16:31, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- https://www.swale.gov.uk/cemeteries/ is the local government website for the area, but the ashes could be anywhere there is no requirement to bury or scatter ashes at the place of cremation they can be taken away and put anywhere. I would suggest you probably need to find out the funeral director who dealt with the cremation who may have an idea what happened. MilborneOne (talk) 16:39, 1 March 2018 (UTC)
- The most likely crematorium for the Isle of Sheppey is the Garden of England Crematorium, in Sittingbourne [1] (there isn't one on the Isle of Sheppey itself). If you know the date of death and/or the date of the funeral they should be able to say whether the ashes were returned to the family or the undertakers, held at the crematorium, or scattered on site (most have a garden specifically for such purposes). If that isn't the right one, putting Kent + crematorium into Google will give you a complete list of every one in the county. Similarly, putting Undertakers + isle of Sheppey into Google gives you a list of the four firms of undertakers on the Isle - though there is no guarantee that one of them would have been used.

- Who arranged the funeral? Was it the girl's mother? 92.19.174.150 (talk) 14:41, 2 March 2018 (UTC)
