bh	Anyway "Get Carter" wasn't made to 1971...
bh	I must've been to secluded dance halls, then. As it certainly wasn't like that in downtown Berkshire. No gangland stuff here, ever. Plenty of dodgy women, though...

Pure fallacy. Not True, Mafia style tactics certainly did exist (extensively) among independently operated UK clubs in the last 50 years. This was often due to the movie and print description of gangster tactics making people mimic that behaviour to show how hard they were. Clubs were/are a cash business so atracted a high proportion of criminal activity. From the 90's onwards though the business became more corporate (Luminar, Oceana etc) so there are less mavericks. The height of the British gangster activity was in the 60's but it continued for a further 20 years.

Canberran!	Thank you for the Savile information. very interesting. I want to know more about English Dance Hall culture that Savile was very much involved in. I mean - were the people that ran the dance halls tough? Like British Mafia? (Maybe I am thinking of Get Carter). The Savile necrophile stuff is interesting. The things he said about dead bodies are suspicious.
