gnasher16 30,278 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 (edited) And my grandfather lived in Fulham during the reign of the London villains, I think I'll take his word on what went down with the gangs, considering the f****r was approached on several occasions by various cockney criminals because of his skills in crafting firearms. Fulham in West London you mean ....With all due respect mate i was born in the next street to Vallance Rd...my ol fella was well known in the area due to his sporting career and so knew a lot of things most didnt...............so i,ll use common sense and take his word and many of the other respected ol boys of the area in that era who lived around,drunk around well known faces of the day .....rather than folk of a different generation who have more than likely never even been to London ! As regards Italian mafia gangs or people meeting in Yorkshire i have absolutely no idea..............or interest to be honest.

You have a credible source who you believe, I have a credible source who I believe. I think it's safe to say we can just agree to disagree. Just to clarify a few digs you took there though: I may be from a different generation, but I've researched British criminal gangs in their entirety. And I have been to London. And the Italian gangs are far more interesting than the British criminal organizations. Edited April 3, 2013 by Milwr Jr. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gnasher16 30,278 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Whatever an " impasse " means............you have clearly read a lot more books than i have,and probably have a lot more education,memory and interest than i have.....so you crack on me ol son im merely pointing out id put more faith in a 10 minute conversation with the right person than studying 1000 pages of flannel !.....all the best. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
