JTR Museum

[spyglass]

Hi all,
A pal told me today whilst driving through Cable St, that he noticed a shop front stating " the jack the ripper museum "
I found a Web site that stated it opens at the end of this month.
It will be conducting walks as well.
Anyone know more about this ?

Maybe someone else with a crackpot theory to peddle.

Have a look over on JTR Forums, it's being discussed there. It seems the domain name for the museum's website was registered by Russell Edwards.

mthe first name that sprang to mind.

He seems determined to make a buck out of Jack.

Hi Gut,

My first thoughts too, but if you look on the website there is no reference to Kos. Their guided walk seems to focus more on Chapman.

I'm hoping to get along to Cable Street next week. If the museum's open, I'll have a butcher's.

Hello GUT,

"I'll have a butcher's." Not familiar with that expression. What does it mean?

c.d.

"Butcher's hook" = Look.
Rhyming slang.

"Butcher's hook" = Look.
Rhyming slang.

Not to be confused with

"I am feeling butchers"

Butcher's = Butcher's hook = Crook = Sick

Gotta love this language.

I'm lost, darlin, and American, and Southern, and New Orleanian. Decoder ring??

The language is Cockney English, Rosemary, and a mystery all to its own. Interesting stuff, but not something I'm conversant in.

I have a good friend who is British and will speak Cockney to mess with me. I get him back by pointing at the door and asking him to turn the knob for me.

Cockney rhyming slang, also very common in Australia



Trouble and Strife = wife
Dog and Bone - Phone
Steak and Kidney = Sydney
Oxford scholar = Dollar
Noah's Ark = shark
Frog and Toad = Road

all are pretty common.

To be honest when Mr B said he's have a butcher's didn't even notice. To me he may as well have written I'll have a look.

How does that cause him problems?

Apparently knob does not mean the same thing to a Brit as it does an American. I also tease him about wanting to eat Bangers & Mash and drinking warm Guinness.

Last time we visited one another we spent most of the time drinking Scotch and jokingly arguing about whether it should have an E or not in it.
