If so, can you tell me about the Krays? Not wikipedia stuff. Actual experiences of living in the 60s when the Krays were around. Just personal perspectives of what it was like at that time. I'm very curious.
Thank you

The Piranha Brothers (a.k.a. The Krays) as seen through the eyes of Monty Python
Vince - "... I ear you been a naughty boy Clement - and e splits me nostrils open, and saws me leg orf, and pulls me liver out. And I said - 'My name's not Clement' ... and ah, then he loses his temper ... and nails my head to the floor"
Reporter (incredulously) "He nails your head to the floor!?"
Vince - "at first, yeah"

London in the 60s ?..Well I tell you I know very little about the Krays apart from..."Well they tied me to the back of the van and took me for a scrape round to Dinsdale's..And there in the conversation pit was Charles Paisley the baby crusher..and some bloke named kierkergaard who was bitin' the heads off whippets".. But I know a whole lot more about the early 60s R&B scene in London. The Stones, Mayall, Yardbirds, Alexis Korner et al. It was way before my time but I did a mini thesis on the music scene in London at that time when I was at university. I was not there but I almost feel like I was.

Wannabe gangsters with a violent streak, a laughing stock (my Dad lived in London in the 60s, and before). The Richardsons from south of the river were much more organised and dangerous. Somehow the Krays briefly captured the popular imagination of the time and seem to have been awarded fame far above their actual achievements. Anonymous Russians in Brooklyn are far more dangerous ...
