How "safe" were the respective murder sites?

I'm sure some of the clientele of Bermondsey, Tower Hamlets, Bethnal Green etc wouldnt object too strongly to women who contented themselves with 'a lick and a promise', (as those sort of washes were referred to by my grandmother!)

What I meant was though, that of course women who lived from hand to mouth were forced out onto the streets every day at all hours. Surely they would be more likely, though, to go and have a drink and try and pick up a client in the more warm and convivial atmosphere of a pub after dark, (once they'd scraped a couple of pennies together for a drink,) rather than trawl the streets in bad weather, anyway. That's my guess anyway.

But how do they get the first couple of p together for a little drinky poo.

And in which district were the most homeless women? If women were working the streets in some number in any district of London at the time, then the fact that the poorest district had the most homeless should enlighten us somewhat on this point.

Gut,

Try saying tuppence instead of two p. It might give you some Dickensian cred amongst the more discerning Aussie youff.

Gut,

Please tell me you pronounced your dog's name tuppence and not too pence .

The fate of the Anglo/Oz relationship may depend on your answer.

I'll just skip in here and say that to get fourpence for a drinky-poo a woman would have to go out on the streets, get a client, then persuade him to take her to the pub and buy her a pint.
