My memories of growing up in the Jewish ghetto of the East End of London during WWII, and the years just after. Your comments are welcome.

  • Why do you have an american accent?

  • @TheJunglesound Do I?

  • @gerwiseman It seems you have a slightly New Yorkish tinge to it. Maybe thats because New York was also influenced by Yiddish. Dont know to be honest.

  • @TheJunglesound

    Please see my answer to night crawler

  • lol i was born in whitechapel but grew up in bow and his guy dont sound like his a cockney

  • @iTzNightCrawler I've lived abroad for over 50 years, It's impossible to keep your original accent for so many years when you don't hear it spoken all the time.

  • When you were a child did you know about Jack the Ripper? Did you ever talk to anyone who was alive during the 1880s?

  • @fatboy22222222222222 How would you know Fat boy?

  • Why do you have an american accent?

  • here's an un-named service alley across the road from the big white church in Commercial St, it's just a car park and garages now. It used to be called Dorset Street, and was known as 'the worst street in London'. Jack the Ripper killed Mary Kelly in Dorset St in 1888. Does anyone remember it the way it was, before they demolished it?
