JT just going to remind you of cockney rhyming slang "brown bread" = dead
Boatrace...
@@junekatana78 boatrace = face... look at the boatrace on that bird over there, it looks like a slapped arse... bird = woman.
Right. I had to learn about that to read Charlie Bronson's book. It's like in every paragraph. The one he wrote. Looneyology. I was like asking Google - what's a nonce? Oh. China? Oh. Etc etc. I'm from Chicago. We're not as colorful.
@@Scooot1972 pal they go and on some go over my head and I live up the road when 7/10 talk like it!
@@junekatana78 most are easy to get but some evolution further like... he gave me a rubber Gregory = the check he gave me bounced...
Rubber bounces and a check is a Gregory Peck. It does get confusing but its fun. It was started so the law had no idea what villains were talking about if they were eves dropping.
I met Mad Frankie Fraser once, when he did a book signing at the shop where I was working. He was genuinely quite charming. I borrowed his pen and nearylywalked off with it, and he looked me in the eye and said 'You orta be careful luv, I've kneecapped people for less!'. Then he laughed his head off.
Weird.
A bar I worked in had him in for 'an evening with' it was fucking cringeworthy, all the local wannabees doing a Q&A with him sucking up, hated every second of it.
@@justenough2326 sounds typical, I hope these americans know how much cringey all this uk gangster/criminal stuff can get 😂
he was a draft dodger and a bully
“Brown bread” is cockney slang for “dead”
Yeah.
" Pan breed" is the glaswegian version. We also use C*nt as a term of endearment. For example we would say "he's a sound c*nt". I've been in the paras for 20 years and remember having to explain this to my English mate's. Scouse boys seem to get it without explanation.
@@rossmiller5929 I'm not Scottish, or Scouse, I'm from Birmingham and we often use unlikely language on friendly terms too.
Yep, if you got on the wrong side of Fred you would end up brown bread.
"Mad" Fankie Fraser, who died a couple of years ago, used to regularly drink in a pub in which I also occasionally had a drink - The Hollydale, in SE London. Any "excitable" youngsters were very quickly made to understand that they needed to behave themselves if Frankie was in there. The pub which is currently my local was also used by the Richardsons crew. I used to know one of them quite well. Lovely bloke - he made great bread pudding!
The pub on the corner of Hollydale road and Brayard’s road
I went to school with Danielle Fraser who was Mad Frankie Fraser’s granddaughter!!
was the pub local to you by any chance?
Did you know Danny holland
And a knuckle sandwich 🥪 😋
Are we just gonna forget Tom Hardy also played Bronson in the Movie
Legend has it that the Kray twins were chased out of Manchester by the Quality Street Gang.
Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels is a great film.
Yes, a fab film
That is my favourite film. Closely followed by snatch
It really is!!!
Watched it last night 👌🏻
dont forget snatch :)
"Brown Bread" is cockney riming slang for "Dead" so his name is "Dead Fred"
I worked as a criminal defence lawyer here in the U.K. and a few years back, a copper friend warned me, see that guy there he’s down from London looking for a local lawyer. Do not accept he is a very well known gangland boss and if you accept working for him on this case whichever way it goes you will be screwed. Cos if you do a good job your in for life with them whether you want to be or not and if you do a bad job your at the bottom of the river Thames with metal accessories around your ankles that make swimming hard! Is brown bread!!! Needless to say I refused his offer, not sure he was that happy about that either but … when social services, there was a minor involved, are so scared they get themselves locked in the cells at the court then you know you do not want to be involved!
Tom Hardy also played Bronson as well as the Kray twins! There’s been quite a few movies and tv series made about the Kray’s, Britain’s notorious gangsters hahaha
Any of those shows/movies you could recommend, please?
Back in the 1990s I was in a bar in London with some friends, nowhere near the usual gangster territory. There were one or two pictures of the Kray twins on the wall. This set one of my mates off on his usual rant about the idiocy of raising common criminals to the status of heroes. I went to the Gents, along the corridor were a LOT more pictures, of the Krays and the Richardsons, and not just the usual pics you see in books and in documentaries. I returned to find my friend still in mid rant and one or two big gentlemen looking across at our table. I grabbed my drink, skulled it and announced "Finish your pints lads, we're going!". We went. :-)
Just a heads up dont be like your mate and nether disrespect any gangsters dead or alive as some have friends and members allover.
Old gangsters used to run like a business and would rarely involve innocents. "Gangsters" today stab an innocent teenager because they accidently bumped into them or looked at them the wrong way
Also they all seem to grass on eachother left right and centre. No code or morals these days
I could be wrong, but I think it's down to American cultural influences - I didn't see the type of "gangsters" we have today until America made it "cool" and a way to "show pride" in one's upbringing (and as a peasant myself, seeing my brother act that way infuriates me! He thinks he looks like a "badass" as he smokes weed, has his pants on show, and talks like a "badman", but in reality, it just looks like he's trying way too hard to be cool).
Just to give you an indication of how tough Lenny McLean was, he was suffering from cancer when he shot Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, but from his performance, you wouldn't have known it.
A great British gangster movie to watch is "The Long Good Friday" with the late, great Bob Hoskins.
" The Mafia? I've shit 'em "
@@migspit "Americans love culture. They always feel like they've arrived in England when the upper classes treat 'em like shit"
His “hotdog” put down of the Americans is his best line.
I've got a suggestion for your new nickname, JT- it's got to be "JAFFA CAKE KELLY"!!!😜
JT a lot of these British gangsters were good fist fighters because there weren’t many guns in circulation compared to the US and being caught in possession of a firearm is a very serious felony over here. They did use guns but only in certain circumstances.
Was a lot after the war
gun werent banned until the 90s
@@prod.sr7186 we still have prevalent gangs that don't use em.
@@OctaviaBeirne-oi9xc not saying that mate, just saying before the ban it were a lot more common to have a few gang members owning weapons (wether they used them or not is a different discussion) in most gangs, obviously a few were fighting only, but guns were common ish
@@prod.sr7186 see were youre coming from. werent meant to cause any discourse, just pointing it out since older family gangs seem to not be taken as serious nowadays - people seem to have this view that we're dead an gone.
Yet the restriction on gangs even back then was still real tight; real tough to get your hand on an efficient one that doesnt take a shit ton of time to reload.
Fists and other cac were more efficient and respectable day-to-day.
You should look at the Peaky Blinders.
Brilliant series
The Krays were originally played by Gary and Martin Kemp from the band Spandau Ballet.
I used to live and work in Manchester and those brothers and their associates that were mentioned in this video were known as 'The Bash Street Kids' because of their violent reputations in City Centre Manchester. The funniest part about them being given that nickname is that 'The Bash Street Kids' were actually a gang from a children's comic called The Beano over here.
By the way, JT, Legend, the film in which Tom Hardy played both of the Kray twins, was a remake of an earlier film The Krays and they were played by two real life brothers, Martin and Gary Kemp, who were two members of the band Spandau Ballet before they appeared in that film in 1990....the Kemp brothers aren't actual twins either because Gary's now 62 and his brother Martin is now 60.
I too am from England & I remember all this very well. We definitely have had the baddest of all baddest mf's, though let me finish by saying.
"Ahh Martin Kemp"
Which proves we also have the most naturally handsome man ever to walk this planet. Yeah I grew up in the 80's. Who didn't like Spandau Ballet
I'm distantly related to Fred Foreman, he was a cousin of my maternal grandmother. It was actually through him that my grandmother met my grandfather, who was a low level enforcer for the Krays.
I smell bullshit. Every video there's someone who claims there grandad or great uncle worked for the Krays
@@stevelowe2647 maybe because they purposely searched it up. Use your brain
I mean someone’s gotta b related t them and it seems like a weird thing to lie about but then people do lie about weird things
I think you completely missed the fact that Tom Hardy played not only both Krays in Legend, but Charles Bronson in Bronson too.
I thought that's what he was referencing anyway? He said he had seen Bronson, so I presume he knew it was Tom Hardy who played him too, no?
Love your reactions! 👍👌
Tom Hardy in Bronson is a better performance than playing the Krays in Legend to my mind. The script was so raw, loved it.
I thought ri se of the krays was better than legend.
Another gr8 vid from u JT!
I have to tell u tho...when u were talking about 'Brown Bread" Fred's nickname, to ppl in other countries it doesn't sound too threatening, I hear u on that one.
Over here tho in England - BROWN BREAD is cockney rhyming slang for DEAD so his nickname does carry a slightly sinister undertone with it.
I subscribed to ur other channel n I've gotta say that I think that u've done a fantastic job on ur boat... "THE LIZZY "?
It seems that u can turn ur hands to most things.
Keep up ur amazing UA-cam work.
Ur happiness is infectious n that is much appreciated.
Much luv to u n ur Luvly Lady.💚&🕊
My great uncle was the driver for the kray twins for a while…. Which I find funny coz he was part of some bad stuff but he was one of the nicest old men I ever met. I loved him and loved spending time with him until he sadly passed away. If you met him you wouldn’t have thought he was involved in any bad stuff. When I was told about his past at first I laughed and didn’t believe it but then I realised it was all true when I started digging around and doing research. Doesn’t change the memories or the way I see him tho he’s still and always will be a loving fun and kind man that I knew
Great video!!
Keep up the good work
They missed some other absolute belters. Stephen 'The Devil' French, AKA The Taxman. Made a living taxing (robbing) drug dealers, to the tune of £20 million ($26 million). A world champion kickboxer, studied psychology at University, used what he learned reading Machiavelli, Sun Tsu and samurai teachings to plan his raids and torture victims. A very interesting guy!
Curtis 'Cocky' Warren. Ran a drug empire that got him onto the Sunday Times rich list and #1 on Interpol's most wanted. Sentenced to over 30 years total, not including borstal (juvenile detention), In 2013 he was ordered to pay £198 million ($264 million) or do another ten years, he didn't pay. In 2020 a female prison officer was sentenced to 2 years for having 'intimate relations' with him.
We've got/had some great gangsters over here that didn't make the list.👍
When I lived in London I once went to the doctor, I was sitting in the waiting room when a man walked in, half the people there immediately stood up and offered him their seat. The atmosphere in the room changed completely. I had no idea who he was, but later found out it was Frankie Frazer! 😳
Freddie Foreman's son Jamie decided from a young age that he didn't want to get involved in a life of crime so chose a different path and became an actor. He's known for playing gangster type characters and was in EastEnders (British soap) playing the dastardly Derek Branning and based a lot of the character's mannerisms on one of his dad's gangster friends though didn't specify which one.
I think it's fair to say that he made the right choice? We here so much about these "famous gangsters" but the one thing no one seems to mention is that most of them have spent the better part of their lives banged up. Surely if you are genuinely a professional criminal then the very last thing you want to be is famous? I'm in my 50s now but when I was in my teens I knew this fella. He was just an ordinary bloke, had a normal job, I think he was a painter and decorator, lived in a very modest family home, wife and 2 kids about my age, drove a 10 year old cortina and had one holiday a year in great Yarmouth. When I was in my 30s I bumped into one of his sons and he told me that about 10 years previously his dad announced that they were moving abroad, he never said where, and then the story came out that his dad was an armed robber, he never got caught because he was never flash. He did it all alone, kept the money hidden then when he had enough dough he packed up his whole life and emigrated with enough money to buy a nice home and live comfortably for the rest of their lives. I was gobsmacked, I'm usually good at weighing people up but there was nothing about this guy that would've given even the best detective the slightest inkling that he was who he was and that's exactly how he got away with it.
@@sambrooks7862 Yep thats the way to do it and I can honestly say of the many villains I grew up around only ONE made it and had a great life without ever going down. And the Richardsons lived around the corner from me. R.I.P JB.
The most serious and succesful gangsters never have films made about them because they're too smart to court publicity. My great grandfather was one of them.
You make me chuckle!! Cheers!! Kx
Charles Bronson is also the name of an American actor. Star of the Death Wish series, Great Escape, and the Magnificent Seven among many others. That may be where you were remembering the name.
NSS
The gangster took his name because he liked the death wish movies so much.
a true gangster will fight ONLY when he has to and will look after his partner, not like todays 'gangsters' who fight and kill for petty things and for the sake of it
U mean wannabe gangsters. No code, loyalty these days. Dying breed. No skool like the old skool as they say
@@beelzebudha666 😂😂😂 yh ok, fair point they are wannabe's
Thugs or organised thugs. They're still just thugs.
Well its like just an ordinary street fight . Back in the 80s 90s a fight outside a pub would be just that , a fair fight .lots of fists and bloody noses but that was really it . Now its knives and the aim is to get their victim on the floor so 5or 6 can stab and jump up and down on the victims head . Just cowards not to be able to have a fair fight ...
@@jessbirmingham889 Just because it's worse now doesn't mean it was ok in the past.
Martin and Gary Kemp played the Krays. Brothers on screen, brothers in real life! Amazing film! 🏴
we'll get your cherubs back...
You should look out for a film called Rise of the footsoldier that follows the inexorable rise of Carlton Leach from one of the most feared generals of the football terraces to becoming a member of a notorious gang of criminals who rampaged their way through London and Essex in the late eighties and early nineties.
My grandparents lived right next to one of the krays gangs house, she knew who they were as did everyone else. My auntie was told a few stories from her mum.
There are two Krays films on Netflix that you would enjoy. They are quite dark and without Hollywood glamour. The Rise of the Krays & The Fall of the Krays.
As for Charles Bronson, I think he is a victim of his environment. He has been kept in solitary for most of his life because no one wanted to help him with his problems. The guy has raised hundreds of grand for charities around the UK
Love u saying don't know what a gangster is with Scarface pic behind u lmfao 😂
Brown bread, which you didn't think was threatening, is the Cockney Rhyming for dead, that guy over there looks brown bread
I worked with a member of the Richardson family many years ago.
One of the nicest fellas I ever worked with but I wouldn't have crossed him.. huge scar on his left cheek and half an ear missing after it was bitten off, he used to be a doorman in the east end in the early 60s.. I saw a pic he had taken with Jack the hat days before he was killed!
could you please react to, lock stock and two smoking barrels. you'll love it. one of the best movies ever!
love that the governor had a British bull dog statue next to him in his interview 😂 proper geezer
"Brown bread " is rhyming slang for Dead
I love the fact that Charles Bronson (crim) named himself after Charles Bronson (Film Star) and now the crim is better known.
Brown Bread = Dead (slang )
The thing about British gangsters tho is that they were usually so good to their communities and would have been the nicest lad you'd ever met... If you weren't on their wrong side 😳
Thats a myth, they extorted protection money from innocent people just trying to make a living and the Krays even supplied children to peadophiles.
@@garibaldi54 my mother worked as a barmaid is a pub the Krays drank as a girl. she said they were polite and smiled but made her skin crawl , she was terrified of them.
@The Yorkshireman Reacts So all the men who later came forward in the 70's and 80's and reported being sexually abused were lying? Looks like you're the gullible here.
One word to that in general; Bollocks!
Good to their communities??? They ran extortion and prostitution rings you muppet
I LOVE the film Bronson, Tom Hardy is brilliant in it
When I was but a wee boy (16 to 18) used to frequent this pub owned by the Smith Brothers, rivals to the Krays. The club/bar was Mr Smiths in Bournemouth, used o be an alternative live metal club that fit 100 people, always over crowded.
My Gran had a longterm partner who helped raise my dad who sadly died but has a business in china town and never use to have to pay protection rackets to the Kray twins and he had an illegal gambling casino downstairs and was from Glasgow and managed to get a tip off from scotland yard anytime the police were about to do a raid
I'd worked as a doorman for about 15yrs before managing the last club I worked at, I had a reputation for dealing with all the trouble myself and never calling for the bouncers. I was nothing compared to some of the door teams I'd worked with, a list of some of the "rumoured" things that would happen/reputations: people would be known to be bundled into the back of Van's and taken to the middle of nowhere before being beaten and tied naked to a tree and left there, one crew left the Continent after a spate of bad people were put in sewage pipes and the manhole covers welded shut, one of my favourite guys to work with became the subject of a BBC documentary for being a head of one of the biggest UK football hooligan firms, last but by no means least I used to work private gigs with a 3 man team of ex SAS troopers. The industry is regulated a little differently now and anyone with a criminal record isn't allowed to work as doormen anymore 😂
Didn’t happen
@@robs715 whatever makes you sleep better pal 😂
@@johnmackay496 the truth
you should watch the Lenny Mclean life story THe Guvnor is that interest you, think youd like it tbh bro. yeah Tom Hardy played Bronson, he actually spent alot of time with him to play the part, supposidly played a very gooid likeness to him, good book aswell
Dave Courtney, his book is called "stop the roundabout I want to get off"
@@graemeday4195 the Bronson one? I know he has a few. One i read was just titled Bronson
@@beelzebudha666 no mate. The gangster was called dave Courtney.
Hardy acted Bronson very well. Bronson was....... well let's just say different.
How can this list include tam McGraw but yet not even mention Paul Ferris even though the film clip showing McGraw was literally the life story of Ferris, plus McGraw was a snitch.
McGraw is said to have paid Ferris a couple million to keep the peace aka not come after him, after Ferris was released McGraw pretty much left the country out of fear.
I was waiting for Paul Ferris aka "the wee man" can't believe he's not on this list.
You need to see a film called gangster no1.beyond brilliant
Tom Hardy as Bronson and the Kray twins, man is a seriously talented actor
First mention of nottingham is to do with the gunn brothers......ahhhh home haha
There used to be Kossoff’s bakery and eat in tea shop on the Whitechapel Road. The dining area In the rear of the shop would often be roped and cordoned off, so members of a certain and notorious gang could sit down and have a natter with a cuppa and a teacake without fear of being “interrupted” ….no one ever DARE cross that roped off bit!
In fact, not as a reaction but watch the film “Legend” about the Cray Twins. I’m guessing they’re gunna be at the top but it’s a very interesting film and fills you in on some of the darker side of British.
Love your vids, you make my day when I’m down.
Cheers for doing what you do 👍
Or there’s the 80’s British film “the krays”
@@smudger746 90s. 1991 or 1992 I believe. Martin & Gary from Spandau Ballet
@@stevelowe2647 that’s the one
“Brown Bread” is Cockney rhyming slang for Dead a slang used to converse without the feds listening in
Four Brothers is a class film. I remember seeing it in 2006.
I was half way through typing that having posters doesn't make u an expert before you manned up and admitted to joking..great Chanel and btw I met Lenny and he was still scary in his later years
The Richardsons mum had a shop just across the road in Wyndham Road, where I grew up. The brothers were often in there, helping out. They were always polite but you often had hairs on the back of your neck stick up.
Was expecting to see Carlton Leech on this list, check out the film Rise of the Footsoldier to learn more about him
10:00 Not sure if knew (or noticed) JT. But Tom Hardy also played Charles Bronson, in the Film Bronson too. Just didn't know if you were aware or not lol
I watched a program on the Gangs of Newcastle upon Tyne, a while back, apparently when the Krays visited they were on their best behavior...
I was half expecting Pete and Bas to feature 🤣
The Kray twins had to do their National Service but they were allowed to serve in the same infantry regiment and they actually fought for their regiment in the boxing ring. While they were there, they had a difference of opinion with one of their sergeants because they both wanted to go home to see their mother and take care of some business in their manor (their home area or turf I.e. the part of town that they were running) and the army wanted to keep them on base. In the fight that followed the sergeant was very badly beaten along with several members of the guards and some of the military police. As a result they were imprisond on several charges and they spent some of their sentences in the Tower of London. I am not sure but I suspect that they would also have been banged up in the Glasshouse, a notorious army jail which was renowned for bringing the worst offenders into line by the use of strict rules and regulations and backing up the rules with even stricter punishments.
I grew up around the Noonans & the Halls. I didn't know the Noonans, but the Halls scared the Hell out of me.
I didn’t know any of them guys personally but the actor that played the Scottish heroine trafficker (John Hannah ) was somewhat a regular in the restaurant I used to work in when I lived in the UK lol
JT thinking of "Hacksaw Jim Duggan"....👀🤔😂😂
Tom Hardy played Charles Bronson as well. He was the guy in clip you showed.
"Brown bread" is English slang for "dead"
London slang.
@@stephenleader8065 It came from there, but like most of the rhyming slang, it spread over elsewhere.
@@stephenleader8065 London is the capital of England and English is the country's native language, it is English slang.

It is rhyming slang from a small area of London. It may be copied elsewhere but it is primarily cockney rhyming slang, not English rhyming slang.
"Brown Bread" is Cockney Rhyming Slang for "dead".
The dudes nickname was "Dead".
Pretty badass.
Tim hardy also played Bronson in the movie which is the movie that kind of made him famous for us, same thing with Eric Bana playing Chopper in the Australian movie
My granddad used to do business with the krays dad and the twins when he was a gangster back in the day. He told me so many stories about them
Tom Hardy played both of the Kray Brothers.
Brown Bread means Dead !
If you haven't seen the Feature Film "Chopper" you should...
An, excellent true story Australian Gangster film, that I'm sure you'd enjoy.
.
It gets better JT; because of the Gunn Brothers Nottingham was the only city in the UK where the normal police were routinely armed. Usually our police just carry pepper spray and a baton. In Nottingham they carry 9mm Glock pistols.
Having grown up in the area of Greater London where most of the eastenders moved to in the 70’s I find it difficult to understand why the krays top this list because according to the parents of most of my school friends the kray brothers must have spent most of their time running a crèche
haha tell your friends parents, they are stupid, the krays were the tastiest around i assure you, evil bastards, and could they have a fight wow
Great vid jt, my nan new the kray twins and her 2nd husband associated with them, they were a nice family and the twins were well mannered you'd never known they had a dark side if you met them she say
I'm related to a Richardson always puts a smile on my face seeing them pop up in videos
Charles Bronson lived part of his life in my town, Ellesmere Port.
"Brown Bread" is a cockney slang term for Dead... Someone says "You're brown bread mate" basically means, "You're dead"
Phrases like this were used so that, should police have your phone tapped or have your place bugged etc... they wouldn't know what you were saying.
Brown bread means "dead" in cockney rhyming slang
I was in Norwich prison back in 77 as a young offender and met Frankie Fraser. He used to look after the yp's. When my dad visited me he said yeh I know him. We lived in the East end (Bethnal Green and Hackney) until 1969. My mum was a nurse at Bethnal Green hospital and my dad worked at mount pleasant sorting office
Jt the "kentuky fried cilla" 😂😂😂
Rip Lenny McLean he was one of the greatest, you should drop a documentary reaction to him and especially Bronson documentarys
Greatest what?
You don't set the bar very high, do you?
Hi I have a suggestion of the two most iconic dueo ANT &DEC on I am a celebrity and Saturday takeaway I really think you'll like them. I grew up with them in my childhood they are also on Britain's got talent give them a look. Thanks x
Yes
There's a short documentary on bare knuckle boxing in the UK. It was done by the channel VICE. Really worth a watch imo.
Love the Video of Infamous British Gangsters Mr Kelly!!!!! Have you seen the Tom Hardy Movies? What do you think of him? HE IS THE BOMB BRO!!!! Best Batman is the one with him as Baine (Just, Due to Heath dying and getting totally into it) Plus I like more Tom Hardy Movies!!!!! Warrior is amazing if you havent seen it, I think you'll like it matey boy
Before your video the only Charles Bronson I knew of was the American Actor by that name. He was the main actor in Death Wish.
Jt should react to london cctv cameras catching crazy shit like roadmen nd stuff
I sat with one of the krays enforcers at a family members wedding the stories he told us were unbelievable
My cousins' dad, his dad and grandad, worked for the Krays.
“Brown Bread Fred” the “Brown Bread” part is Cockney rhyming slang for” Dead” because that’s how you’d end up if you crossed him .
Been awhile, bro. How are you, mate?
My grandad lived near the Krays in Bethnal Green love your videos lovely man 💕 😆
In Birmingham we had the Fewtrells who had a reputation and during the 1960's The Krays came to Birmingham to try and muscle in but they were sent back to London. The Fewtrells owned most of the clubs on Broad Street which is still a mecca for clubbing today.
Only comes out with a book when the Krays are dead.
The Krays were turned away from Manchester, they were put back on the train at Piccadilly. In these list they always come out as number one, but that is because the courted the limelight, in truth they would not make the top 5.

Brown bread Fred was called that because in cockney rhyming slang, "brown bread" means dead. Like if someone said thatt they're gonna make you brown bread, they mean they're gonna make you dead. So his name actually means "dead Fred". Great video JT, please keep up the good work.
