Eccentric welsh landlady

In wht way, apart from taking in students, was she eccentric?

of my student lodgings spent a bit of a sum
burying her mother and thought it prudent to buy her own coffin for when
her own time comes. Placed it in the middle of the living room as a coffee
table. A Japanese TV company thought this strange enough (as if there
weren't enough strange things already in Japan) to send a TV film crew to
capture this as a newsworthy article on how the Brits prepare for the
inevitable. :-)
