Wasn't me either ...I thought he was going to unveil the winner of the new " I was jack the ripper " celebrity contest ....... He conned me and I can only apologise ! Seriously enjoyed it though ! He was good !
The more I read Patricia Cornwell's book, the more I believe that she is right when she says that Jack the Ripper is buried in a small churchyard just outside Bath. The name on the stone is Walter Sickert.
As someone who has read her book , my opinion is that she is wrong .....as are you Tom if you think is on the right line ..... I think iit was a male , lived in London possibly but certainly UK , was around in 1888 and rather controversially was not well know, famous or has been yet identified or postulated as a murderer ! ....... I actually think it was a policeman or certainly a man dressed as such .....but I have no name to put to the knife
Jason Your chaps theory that basically the murders where not THAT important in the big scheme of things was an interesting point..... Life was cheap then,.....what are you organising next?
