The London Apprentices

Post by Who2 »

And Knives..

Matt's back on ch4 news and more deaths due to knives.
Got me wondering about news....

It took me back to the days of The London Apprentices, they came from all over the Country to learn a trade and to live.
There was a lot of them there favorite weapon 'knives.

Found this interesting piece:

I can remember a guy tapping on my car window once, with a huge knife saying "I just want a word" tap tap tap!

I have a small collection of knives on one wall back in egg-wipe, Iv'e been informed someone has nicked my
antique silver dagger...It's all down to modern news 24/7 outlets..

It just it never got recorded as food for the masses before..just saying.. 8)

Ps: I just remembered! The Sabinis' were over in Little Italy they fought everybody with knives including
the so called Pinky Blinders...then back in the 60's it was the Sicilians fighting for Soho with razors..
