hangman...

spot on lil and he was the hangman that knocked my dad down in a car one day catherine xx

Yes he was the hangman who hanged the most people I think,,,,,,,,,

hes related to a girl at work.xx

From what I have heard he enjoyed his job ...do a google on him and you will find his life story....obnoxious little man....seems to have had a killers mind himself.....His family were hangmen too sorry Joy..but From how he describes his job he doesn't come over as very nice. Update: Apologies....I was in fact thinking of Syd Dernley, ( a Hangmans Tale ) who had a rather goulish way of recounting his story as a hangman.

well joyous you tell her he knocked my dad down one day in his car. lol the tinker wern't happy enough hanging peeps he had to knock me dad down an all catherine xx

There was a program on sky about him . Was he the last hangman in England ? He only ever talked about his work to one friend and said the hardest job he ever had was hanging Ruth Ellis . ( think this is right ) xxx Kim

He is on the Crime channel tonight

your spot on there kim Ruth Eliis was the last person to be hung, my dad was born 1937, so I am not sure what year he got knocked down, but I have always known about this for years, I mean he must have stopped and sorted it out, cos me dad was fine, be intresting to find out more though. catherine xx

Lil- is it crime and punishment channel on sky??? if so what time love gonna tape it would like to see the face of the bloke that knocked me dad down catherine xx

at 8pm...documentaries...Crime....channel 531

Albert visited Ruth Ellis.s grave after the execution and also spoke to her parents , he came across as a kind , understanding and very caring man . He said he had a job to do and was not there to judge the people he executed , his main concern was to get it right and release them from this life with dignity and respect .xxx Kim xxx

There's a DVD about him too. ('Pierrepoint') Probably done from a slightly different angle. It made me feel quite sorry for him. I had the impression that he didn't enjoy his job, but just did it to follow his father. Alf.

cheers fag ash gonna tape it catherine xx

He was a hangman so was his uncle so was his nephew he got £10.00 each hanging he was also a green grocer and his wife never even knew he was a hangman until the later years of his life he hung over 600 people yet the funny thing is he never even agreed with the death penilty.

Lil...thanks for that, I think I might watch it. How are you? x

people I am not joking here my dad was involved in a car accident when he was young- the name of the person involved was Albert Pierrepoint, who we found out after to be the last hang man of england my family must have been well spooked catherine xxx
