Anyone who watched BBC4’s Tube Night the other day may have seen the Arena programme featuring Ted Batchelor, the lost property manager’s attempts to re-unite a urn containing cremated human remains with the family who lost them.

Annie Mole over at Going Underground reports :

Amazingly the family have been found, thanks to John Fisher, an amateur genealogist who took it upon himself to find the family. Quite how he did this I don’t know, but the family had the urn amongst some luggage which was stolen from a British Rail train. Thieves had taken the bag with the urn onto the Tube and discarded it when they realised it was of no value to them.

Now Molly Maile has finally been reuinited with her father’s ashes.

In another part of the blogsphere amazing news from Petite Anglaise on the results of her recent doocing :

I won. A year’s salary, plus costs. I will only get this compensation if my ex-employer does not lodge an appeal (they will have one month in which to do so once the written version of the decision is published in about a fortnight’s time). But right now, the principle is enough for me. Round one to petite anglaise!
