12:35 pm
came federal feel that they're christian. i believe that a bit vague in terms of what happens on the muslim if you know as in a slum it was meant as a basic and simple in that sense but floor and off to the main explain what's happening. right now my grandson in college so i know he's coming in the last six months and we hope that we can train him to take over for me to carry on to do shrooms to carry on the service for the people here in around these.
12:36 pm
moments. along the mine and it's going to. be i will. be judged on my dad and. mom i do know. that you know that. others. will be about. as you said it was this gave it all. my whole family's for a member who is really good and has sort of been overwhelmed. the idea of death and
12:37 pm
death is an everyday thing. that's. carrying on my family's legacy. mom to our copper to. my mom that she went into the company because my great grandfather wonder a little bit help so sure for we can then he turned the years and she just carried on. but she decided she wanted to go back teaching. i was quite surprised you wanted to do this and i didn't know whether it was just because it was an easy option because you. just. you really want to do it to. really enjoy doing. it so my dad's a big character and it's really difficult because for twenty years over twenty years we struck we saw a stopping father and daughter and became business partners which challenge to
12:38 pm
stomach lay how i was dealing with him and talking to him and there's this very much disrespect thing. and we deal with things very very differently i was in partnership with my dad only up until recently. who know was here for twenty years and she decided to achieve would stand back for a while because maybe she wanted to direct her to trust him to nose and i was standing in her way we have women come here their husbands have died and they can relate to a woman better than they can a man especially with asian women so we need a woman's touch here and i think he will be coming back. we have about thirty thousand plus muslim population here in the white chapel east london area and this is always been the kind of melting pot of southern england.
12:39 pm
you know did not prepare you paula visit the mosque every now and name and not only did i go. to the extent the mosque to cause trouble that bit of a channel but islands. lovely little towns and causing quite a lot of. they came the day was. consoled by the i think it was it was the. temperature leading to for what great britain's first was privileged to be in london i was speech she might arrive in belfast is someone that isn't and you always assume it's because the kids in the. working quite street was closed off because you had to buy and go to the same time i'm sure it was developed by now friend. and you know i don't live in the area. the moment the light though it's a pretty you know they're an issue we work together we go on to give a what. i want to from some even the many well. we all
12:40 pm
respect one another's views yeah to a point of we disagree sometimes but we don't ram ever used them people shrug it's . the way i do you can't be fearful just in case yes you know that's what i do. when the down am not ok and think we're going to happen is it going to happen yeah especially when you got the kates. when i first got them. to give me your original question yes you have to give them the original green certificate last year which is slow in this country you have to have the greens and difficult original ok and the problems give me a ring but i think you're going by. you only bury somebody once and people remember things when they go wrong weddings and funerals and if you do it right there where
12:41 pm
my dad used to do it then that's good and if you do it wrong those people will never forget you and will always curse you. too. this is the picture of dad and me. yeah when i was about five years of age because my father it wasn't very happy about having photographs taken. when mothers in the sari and i'm sure this was about nineteen fifty six this was taken. around about the mid sixty's when there was an influx of muslim people arriving here in east london mainly bangladeshis or at that time it was east pakistan. the need for a funeral service grew so my father purchased a black ambulance man and started to do the funerals here in london.
12:42 pm
daphne marley was only seventeen as any man he deputized this find his father was away on pilgrimage to mecca i grew up here in this area and we had this phenomena called bashing we had right wing groups coming along looking for asians to beat up just for the sake of it. my father was beaten up and. it wasn't a wasn't a good time in east end of london. my mum was welsh she converted to islam too in the second world war with my father she was a coal miner's daughter can you imagine the stigma of a white lady marrying a dark person but she didn't care but i'm also proud to be a bangladeshi as well. oh yeah that's my dad that's my dad roughly. four weeks before he died
12:43 pm
and a smile when he graduated. and muna when she graduated she sees the world in a different way because being younger than me she can maybe project forward where i don't that's why i think politicians shouldn't be allowed to be politicians after sixty five that some young blood. a far worse away because they got better ideas and see things better than we do we're always thinking in the past and they're thinking in the future and that's important so i do miss her yes.
12:44 pm
