Me too... Ipswich must be an even worse place than usual to be at the minute....

Wonder why any serial killer in the UK gets called a 'ripper'????

Do they all, or just ones that kill prostitutes?

No, I should have put serial killers who attack women.

The Yorkshire Ripper attacked women, but not prostitutes...
