Outlaws and Bandits
So we started off talking about a literary legend that most of us would have grown up knowing well. Among other m
emories one thing about Robin Hood that stands out from my child hood was the fact that "Everything I do" from Robin Hood Prince of Thieves was number one for 16 weeks! How can we forget that? We quickly moved on from that however, briefly touching upon other famous Outlaws such as Bonnie and Clyde before settling on Jesse James. I think the thing that struck a major cord in my mind was the information about the economic circumstances that seem to breed Outlaws and Bandits. It seemed to be the exact kind of climate we are currently experiencing in this country at the moment. Not meaning to make any of you nervous but...watch this space!

Not meaning to make any of you nervous but...watch this space!I think the strange obsession we have with Outlaws and Bandits is exposed by websites such as this one; http://www.blacksheepancestors.com/uk/blacksheep.shtml which allows you to search your own family history for any ex-cons which may be lerking in your ancestoral closets. Strange!
