Hastings Death Cafe
Mar. 27th, 2025 08:58 am They're opening a Death Cafe in Hastings and three of us who had been involved with The Eastbourne DC went across to their first meeting to offer moral support.
Nice Cafe, no licence to serve alcohol, very rich cakes, woke vibe. They're boycotting Coca Cola and stocking something called Palestine Cola which Ailz said was nice. We may have got hold of the wrong end of the stick but we thought someone was saying that it's owned by the actor Emily Watson- and that she can sometimes be seen there. This prompted a conversation about how tiresome it must be for celebs to have people recognise them all the time and how awkward it can be for the ordinary citizen when they spot a celeb and then have to decide whether to acknowledge them or pretend they haven't seen them. Clearly celebrity is a bad thing and should be abolished.
We leavened a meeting that would otherwise have been made up entirely of people associated with St Michael's Hospice. Good craik- through two hours straight- without a break- is a bit much. Would I, will I go again? Yes, sure. I'm always happy to talk about death.
