I'm teasing Beowulf, its all good.

Its true. I do think in that period.

Thank you all for your kind welcome.

A little bird has told me my other post may have caused a bit of interest so I'd better go and have a look.

"Barro,

By 02 I mean 1902, not 2002. And by not contemporary, I usually mean not 1888.

Apologies for the confusion.

Hmmm, who did say that now?


!!!LOL. I TRIED to find this post, so YOU were the culprit It is absolutely the quintessential mindset here.

Credit where credit is due, besides the original is a lot funnier:

Hello Barbara.

"Kind of like traveling back to the 1888 England era whenever you have a moment."

That's because of all the old flatulators here--like me. (heh-heh)

Cheers.

Hello Hutch and welcome

I'm fairly new here myself but I have to say it's wonderful. Kind of like traveling back to the 1888 England era whenever you have a moment.

It's perfectly acceptable here to forget that era was a long time ago.

As one poster here once said; (and I'm paraphrasing), "When I say '88, I mean 1888 and when I speak of this century I mean the 1800s".

That reminds me... are we in sort of a workhouse asylum or in a full-blown Broadmoor kind of place? I get confused sometimes and hitting my head with bricks isn't making things clearer.

Well, they make me eat cold watery gruel and spend all day picking oakum, so I suspect this asylum isn't the country-club type.

Hello Hutch and hi from a fellow cat lover. What a great first post!

Like you, I favour a local nobody as JtR. Look forward to reading more of your posts.

Yes,

Welcome Hutch. And a great entrance it was too.

Seriously, welcome to the boards.

Hi Hutch and welcome.

Yes, I leaned towards Druitt when Dan Farson's book came out. Unfortunately there is always a snag in Ripperworld.

Aha! I KNEW there was an explanation to why you have not been able to pick up on Lechmere yet!

The best,
