      Thank you, Abby! -- and I should have added this: after my last post, as I was more-or-less kidding.

      Grampton as a place name seems more common...

        Why in the world do people keep contributing to this thread? Enough already. Move on, nothing to see here.

          Au contraire mon frer. Now we have the Brampton theory rearing it's ugly head.
          It's a veritable circus sideshow in here.

            Well then I stand corrected.

                Whilst I have the utmost sympathy that much work as been devalued in your eyes, are you 100% sure that Pierre who ever he is was talking about your theory suspect. He gave very little away. Mainly saying what his suspect wasn't.

                I do sincerely hope that you have not spoken when you did not need to.

                For the rest of us it now just waiting to see who gives a name first.

                Regards
                I know most of the story, but not the whole story. But from what I do know, Pinkmoon is right to be concerned about Pierre's talk.

                I can honestly and sincerely say that I don't know who Pierre is and I haven't told him (or anyone else) about Grampton.

                If this news comes out before it's supposed to, it won't be from me.

                  Be careful, before you know it, you're going to give it away.

                  In our current position, we shouldn't be saying too much of anything.

                    I think it refers to Grampton Court.

                        Next to Peter Frampton's house at Frampton Court. Nice house. Looks like Pierres house.

                          There is no evidence for any religious connection in the Ripper case.

                              I sense a new Masonic - like conspiracy here. The "Gramptonites" are not the men who will be caught for nothing!!

                                Gramptonite is the only thing the Ripper feared. When he was in the vicinity of Gramptonite all his powers deserted him, and he sank helpless to the floor.

                                Stride knew this and tried to bluff him with her "Gramptonite, some other night" line, but it didn't save her.
