"Muvvers"
I remember the day the last of the Kray twins was buried. At the time I was just a work experience kid in a lab and they happened to have the radio on when this was being reported, and I didn't really know much about them.

It was only after I learnt more about the Krays, and the whole East-end Cockney gang culture that I was struck by the sheer idiocy of some of the statements bystanders were coming out with when interviewed. Most notably:
"Oh, I know they did some bad things, but they was good boys really. They was so good to their muvver. They loved their muvver."

I see. So taking good care of your mother is enough to compensate for chaining people up in abandoned warehouses and torturing them with steak knives because you thought they'd snitched on you to Old Bill, or possibly just 'cause you didn't like their face?

Well, assuming that to be true, I love my mother dearly. Pete fucking Doherty had better watch his back...
