6:39 am
my whole family member who is with him and his so i've been overwhelmed. the idea of death and death is an everyday thing. that's. carried on my family's legacy. mom to walk up to three knowing. my mom dad she went into the company was my great grandfather wonder a little bit help so sure for we can then he turned the years and she just carried on i think she decided she wanted to go back teaching. 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. really want to do it to.
6:40 am
really enjoy doing. 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 stomach lee 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
6:41 am
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. you know them love you play polo visit the mosque every now and name 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 here that day was. consoled by the i think it was the it was the. temperature leading to for what brits first was privileged to be in london i was speech she might arrive in belfast is someone that isn't always here it's because the kids and it's. working quite straight was closed off because at the pyne gould he started me saying i'm sure it was developed
6:42 am
by now friend. and you know i don't live in the area. the moment a lot 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 what we all respect one another's views yeah to a point of we disagree sometimes but we don't ram have used them people shrug. the way i do you can't be fearful just in case you as you know that. when the downy i'm not ok and think we're going to happen is it going to happen yeah especially when you got the case. what i could. to get the original yes you have to give them the original green
6:43 am
certificate last year which is slowing this country you have to have the greens and difficult original ok i do 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 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.
6:44 am
the need for a funeral service grew so my father purchased a black ambulance man and started to do the funerals here in london. tasneem army was only seventeen is anyone he deputized this far 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 what 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
6:45 am
a bangladeshi as well. oh yeah that's my dad that's my dad roughly. four weeks before he died and is 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 for us 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 it's important. so i do miss her yes.
6:46 am
