Just watching a bit of The Krays on ITV4. Why did they portray Jack 'The Hat' Mcvitie as a Yorkshireman!?

Yeah I thought that BMH when I was watching that Black Mass film with Johnny Depp.... that Boston Irish gangster boss (Whitey Bulger) must of WHACKED about 100 blokes.... I thought at the time it all makes all our Gangsters a bit gay... which I suppose half of them were when you think about it...

Pwoper good lads and made the good ol eastend a safe place for everyone. I lined the streets with the rest of the salt of the earth for their funerals.
Back in them days I could leave my front door wide open and no trouble. Back then I didn't trust banks so I kept my life savings in a glass box on my front step and it never got pinched by nobody. My old fella once looked at Reg the wrong way and got sliced across the face with a blade but that was a small price to pay for living a safe life.

Half the east end were in the blind beggar that night according to the amount of people who have rolled out that they were there, must have had a marquee set up in them days as it would have to have had the same capacity as the Hotpoint!!!

my mum and dad knew them, they tried to muscle in on my dad and his brothers firm of carpenters in the 60s....my uncle George - who's name is now my middle - a desert rat and a feared fighter in poplar, told them to sling their hook, and they never came back.
proper hard, the old clan.
