yes it’s completely ridiculous. But people inc my idiot mother in law are busy worrying about getting their hair coloured while I’m worrying about how to get additional mortuary capacity into the middle of nowhere

It does look like SQ is doing a one off SYD-SIN-LHR on Sat 11 April.
It's bookable on their website...90 minute connection but still 2 standard flight numbers SQ232>SQ322 (no deplane apparently).
It's being promoted by the British High Commission in Canberra, although helpfully when booking it still carries a message that only Singaporean residents are allowed to transit...not very confidence building!
