    Peaky Blinders - A world away from Downton!

    Its a very interesting ramble Maria. There is a good you-tube video about Carl Chinn and the peaky's, well worth watching. Was it me or was this second series a bit more aggressive ? Good question .. probably not the sort of family to get associated with I guess.
